Even before this trade pact, 7,000 monster American SUVs – the vast majority being RAM pick-ups – were sold in the EU during 2024 according to sales data analysed by T&E.

    Yes there are loopholes (but those have nothing to do with that "pact") and that is a problem but 7000 vehicles is a drop in the EU car market. That said, it is 7000 too many of them.
