在跨大西洋贸易的重大变革中，美国正式下调了对从欧盟进口汽车征收的关税。新关税税率定为15%，追溯至8月1日起的货运生效，这标志着双方今年早些时候达成的贸易框架最终落地。该决定已通过美国贸易当局周三发布的文件正式生效。 这一消息立即引发欧洲市场乐观情绪，尤其利好在美销售规模庞大的德国汽车制造商。大众、保时捷和梅赛德斯-奔驰股价全线走高。其中完全依赖进口方式在美销售的保时捷受此前高关税冲击最为严重，其股价在法兰克福交易时段涨幅一度达3.8%。 本次关税调整属于一揽子贸易措施的一部分，其他多个行业也同时获得关税豁免。自9月1日起，飞机零部件、仿制药及特定金属矿产将不再面临额外税费。但汽车行业的关税减免以欧盟采取对等行动为前提——欧盟已于8月28日通过立法降低对美国商品的关税。 此举实质上取消了此前在欧洲车辆标准税费基础上额外加征的25%关税。美国政府表示受影响产品清单可能还将进一步调整。整个流程经由总统唐纳德·特朗普签署行政令加速推进，从而简化了此类贸易协定调整的实施程序。
