These German eco-activists are fighting to stop big American trucks
A German environmental group wants to close a loophole that allows Europeans to import American pickup trucks.
On April 2nd, U.S. President Donald J. Trump plans to sign executive orders imposing reciprocal tariffs on goods from many important regions, including the European Union.
A common argument that prominent politicians like U.S. President Donald Trump and his supporters use to defend these measures is that while Americans purchase certain European products like cars, Europeans do not buy the same goods at the same rate.
"The European Union was formed to screw the United States, that's the purpose of it, and they've done a good job of it," Trump told reporters at a cabinet meeting in the White House in February 2024.
"They've really taken advantage of us. They don't accept our cars, [...] They use all sorts of reasons why not, and we accept everything of them."
