“European Pravda” with reference to a high -ranking EU official, who spoke on the terms of anonymity, said that only Hungary did not support the introduction of tariffs for American goods from the EU members of the European Union.
At the same time, according to the Vienna Institute of International Economic Research (WIIW), Hungary is one of the countries most affected by US tariffs for cars. Experts predict a “decrease in total exports by 0.31%”, which will significantly affect the Hungarian automobile industry.
