US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that his administration has made a decision to impose 25 percent tariffs on products from the European Union (EU), including cars.

"We have made a decision. We'll be announcing it very soon, and it'll be 25 percent generally speaking, and that'll be on cars and all other things," Trump told reporters at a White House cabinet meeting.
