EU to Britain: Increase tariffs on Chinese cars

Brussels has warned the British government that the UK must increase tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles to align more closely with European Union trade policies. EU officials fear that differing tariff regimes could allow Chinese products to enter the European market through Britain, bypassing trade barriers. While London seeks better access for its automotive and chemical industries, it faces a dilemma between maintaining post-Brexit sovereignty and protecting vital supply chains linked to the EU single market.
