Without also addressing the issue of the EU VAT, EU import of foreign parts, and adminstrative obstruction of US products, I’d say that if all things are equal, then reciprocity is the objective.

Detroit is not going to like losing the tariff on trucks. It might be politically risky, but no more risky than what the results of a 30% tax on every imported item would be.

De industrialization is pretty risky too.

I’ve seen Euro trucks. Driven the autobahn alongside them. If we had true 0%0VAT0Obstruction versus our zero percent, there’s no way I’d want to compete head to head with F150s, Silverados, and Rams, if I were them.
