European manufacturers export between 50% and 60% of the vehicles they make in the US, making a substantial positive contribution to the US trade balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EU and the US must engage in dialogue to find an immediate resolution to avert tariffs and the damaging consequences of a trade war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t<blockquote class=\"shareable-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content\">The European Automobile Manufacturers\u2019 Association (ACEA) is deeply concerned by the US President\u2019s announcement of additional tariffs on our sector.
