EU Urges UK to Raise Tariffs on Chinese EVs, Suggests Customs Union Membership

The European Union has pressed Britain to increase tariffs on Chinese electric vehicle imports and align its trade policy more closely with the bloc, warning that key British exports could face "made in Europe" barriers otherwise. Brussels suggested joining the EU customs union as the best solution, but London continues to rule out that option while seeking to preserve its place in European supply chains and attract Chinese automotive investment.
