flag German exports to the U.S. dropped 7.8% in 2025 due to new Trump-era tariffs, especially on cars and steel.

flag German exports to the U.S. fell 7.8% year-on-year in the first nine months of 2025, reversing a long-term growth trend, primarily due to new U.S. tariffs under President Trump’s trade policies. flag Car exports dropped nearly 14%, the steepest decline, driven by a 15% baseline tariff on European vehicles and a 50% tariff on steel and aluminum used in machinery. flag Engineering and chemical exports also declined by 9.5% each, though higher energy costs in Germany contributed to reduced production. flag Experts say elevated tariffs are likely to persist, signaling a prolonged shift in trade relations and a challenging new normal for German exporters.
