I think it goes without saying that if you want to protect your domestic market, that having trade restrictions and tariffs is essential. Especially if you have higher labour and environmental standards. So I do support Tusk in that matter. I still think he's a twat though.
But don't they already have that in the US? It seems that brands like Kia are not nearly as big in the US, while they have explosive growth here in Northern europe since they get top reviews.
Wouldn't that be in breach of WTO rules? Certainly tariffs based on carbon are likely moving forwards. Protectionism doesn't help anyone long term.
