Trump’s “anger” drove US tariffs on EU cars, top lawmaker tells Europe Today

On Monday’s episode of Europe Today, the European Parliament’s top trade lawmaker, Bernd Lange, tells us that US President Donald Trump’s tariff hike on EU cars is a “political move” stemming from Trump’s “anger” at German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. We also get an analysis of the consequences of Trump’s decision to withdraw at least 5000 troops from Germany with our NATO correspondent, Shona Murray. And we analyse the significance of Armenia hosting the European Political Community summit today, as the country seeks closer ties with Europe amid a rupture with its traditional ally, Moscow.
