I don’t think the US would either. Their justification for tariffs on Chinese cars was that they were uncompetitively cheap due to subsidies. Doubt EU is gonna subsidize cars, at least as heavily as China.
Whether you agree or not with their justification (or think that it’s not the real reason), they clearly have no justifications (or reasons) to impose tariffs on unsubsidized (or at least not as heavily subsidized) EU cars.
What do you mean? Why would Europe impose tariffs on their own cars?
Europe wouldn’t. The US would. I’m one of those US-centric users everyone gripes about, it would seem.

That was the justification, yes.

Except for the oil lobby.
