Trump order lowering tariffs on EU autos still days away, source says
BRUSSELS (Reuters) -The European Union will likely have to wait a few more days for an executive order by U.S. President Donald Trump lowering tariffs on imports of European cars and car parts, a source familiar with the EU-U.S. negotiations said. It means U.S. consumers will continue to see tariffs of 27.5% applied to the imports of cars including German-made BMW and Mercedes-Benz vehicles and Swedish-made Volvos, the source said, rather than the 15% rate Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen agreed in Scotland. The rate will only come down once Trump issues a legally binding executive order. White House officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Trump on July 31 issued an executive order setting the EU's baseline tariff at 15%, but the order did not cover goods facing so-called Section 232 investigations, including autos, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, wine and spirits and steel and aluminium. The baseline tariff comes into effect on August 7 at 12:01 a.m. EDT (0401 GMT) with an exemption for goods already in transit or warehoused until Oct. 5. The EU-U.S. framework trade agreement will be implemented in stages through White House executive orders followed by a legally non-binding joint statement, which a senior EU official on Tuesday said was at an "advanced" stage. Under the terms of the agreement, a 15% levy will be applied to EU pharmaceuticals and semiconductors, U.S. officials say. EU officials say 15% is a ceiling and that the rate could be lower pending the outcome of the Section 232 investigations. EU and U.S. officials are still negotiating a final list of products that would have either a zero-for-zero duty or a significantly lower most-favoured nation rate. The EU wants low or zero rates on spirits, wines, some chemicals and medical devices. In the interim, spirits and wines will see duties rise to 15%.

Gwent woman left without a car after Citroen recall
A Gwent woman says she has been left without a car after her vehicle was recalled for safety reasons. Suzanne Bevington from Abertillery has been left without a car, without clear answers, and without any practical help. She owns a 2016 Citroën DS3, one of the models caught up in the Takata airbag recall crisis. Since being told on June 30 not to drive her car, she's faced confusion, delays, and a complete lack of support. 'We've all been left in the dark," she said. "You can't get information and appointments to do the repair are just cancelled. We're all told contradictory things. 'It would be nice to know why the recall happened. I have asked and had no reply. Was it caused by an accident or are airbags just exploding as the car is being driven? It's vital that we know the answer to these questions.' Her recent appointment at Newport's Spellantis Garage was cancelled, and the garage refused to fit a Citroën C1 airbag to her DS3, despite two other dealers confirming this is possible, Suzanne said. With no courtesy car, no recovery van, Suzanne can't get to work and wonders how she will get her car to the garage. Police have begun actively checking drivers of certain Citroën and DS vehicles affected by the Takata airbag recall. Around 120,000 cars are affected. Parkers has reported the recall was triggered by a fatal accident in France involving a 2014 Citroën C3, where the airbag exploded, firing metal fragments into the cabin. Takata airbags are known to degrade over time, especially in humid or hot conditions. Parkers, one of the UK's leading automotive websites, has experienced difficulty in contacting Stellantis' recall line. They further report that one dealer never answered, while another offered a cancellation slot in mid-August. Regular bookings are now stretching into October and beyond. Suzanne has said people in Gwent are chattering about slots in January. Stellantis has now authorised Peugeot dealers to carry out repairs to help ease the backlog. One dealer mentioned that the RAC is offering mobile repairs via though availability continues to remain unclear. If you own one of the affected Citroën or DS models, do not drive the car if advised not to. Risk of injury or death from a faulty airbag is real. Suzanne, who works as a carer, said: 'I want my car and clear answers. I can't afford a hire car and I can't get to work. I'm eft in the dark and no one will speak about what's going on. They've got to sort this out.' Parkers advise staying persistent with dealers or Stellantis customer service. Clarify your insurance status if you've received a stop-drive notice and never assume you are covered. Stellantis says dealers are under pressure, with repairs delayed until 2026 due to limited airbag supply and high demand. They say they are prioritising vehicles based on risk factors and expanding operations across their network: 'Stellantis remains fully committed to acting swiftly, transparently, and responsibly.' Meanwhile, Citroën urges drivers of affected vehicles to stop driving and check details at VIN at
