    Europe wouldn’t. The US would. I’m one of those US-centric users everyone gripes about, it would seem.

      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.

        That was the justification, yes.

          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.
