The dispute centers on the EU's plans to impose tariffs on EVs imported from China, a move that has raised concerns about a potential trade war. Habeck, after meeting with Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao, emphasized the importance of avoiding a damaging trade conflict. He highlighted the need for a political resolution to protect the interests of both regions and ensure the continued growth of the EV industry. The situation underscores the broader challenges of balancing trade and environmental goals in the global shift towards electric mobility.
