Donald Trump is increasing the tariffs charged on cars and trucks imported from the European Union to 25% in a sharp escalation of trade tensions with Brussels, BBC reported. 

The US president accused the EU of "not complying with our fully agreed to trade deal" in a post on Truth Social, but did not explain how.

"I am pleased to announce that.....next week I will be increasing Tariffs charged to the European Union for Cars and Trucks," Trump said on Friday.
