US tariffs, laws push Jeep owner Stellantis into 2.3-bn-euro first-half net loss
The carmaker, whose stable of brands also includes Peugeot, Citroen and Fiat, said first-half net revenues dropped 12.6 percent to 74.3 billion euros, according to the preliminary and unaudited results.
Sales of vehicles fell by six percent in the second quarter year-on-year, after having dropped nine percent in the first three months of 2025.
Stellantis said "the early effects of US tariffs" had a 300-million-euro negative impact and disrupted its plans to respond to its struggling performance in North America.
Automakers have struggled to respond to a new US tariff of 25-percent on imported cars that are not largely made within North America.
Stellantis fell into a net loss when it took a 3.3-billion-euro charge, which it said was "primarily related to programme cancellation costs and platform impairments, net impact of the recent legislation eliminating the CAFE penalty rate and restructuring".
US President Donald Trump's massive tax and spending legislation, approved earlier this month, removed the penalties for not respecting the so-called CAFE fuel economy targets, meaning automakers can produce and sell more higher polluting cars in the United States.
Stellantis suspended its financial guidance in April due to the heightened uncertainty generated by US tariffs.
The company said it was in the early stage of taking action to improve performance and profitability, with new products expected to deliver a larger impact in the second half of 2025.
Shares in Stellantis fell more than two percent as trading got underway on the Paris stock exchange.
Stellantis said it would release audited first half results on July 29 as scheduled.

US tariffs corrode steelmaker ArcelorMittal's profitability
Net profit for the period from January through June rose 39 percent from the same period in 2024 to hit $2.6 billion, thanks to a $1.7 billion exceptional gain from acquiring a stake in a US unit ceded by Nippon Steel. But operating earnings that strip out interest costs, depreciation and taxes, slid by 10 percent to $3.4 billion, notably due to US tariffs on steel imports. US President Donald Trump doubled tariffs on steel and aluminium to 50 percent at the beginning of June, including on its neighbour Canada which is the largest foreign supplier to the United States, as well as Mexico. ArcelorMittal says its global footprint, it produces steel in 15 countries and serves customers in 129, enables it to benefit from high-growth markets such as India and Brazil. However the introduction of US steel tariffs complicates ArcelorMittal's operations in North America, where it has factories in Canada, Mexico and the United States. First half sales slid 5.5 percent to $30.7 billion, but that 7.5 percent drop in average steel prices. "The underlying strength of the business is good, but like every company we must navigate the backdrop of ongoing geopolitical and tariff disruptions," chief executive Aditya Mittal said in a statement. "Despite the many challenges facing global business today, I am confident that ArcelorMittal has a profile that will enable us to continue to grow and thrive," he added. Mittal said gaining full ownership in Calvert by acquiring the stake from Nippon Steel strengthens its capabilities to produce high-quality steel products for a range of customers including the automotive industry. He urged the European Union to detail the measures it plans to take to protect its market from a flood of cheap Chinese steel imports. "It remains a crucial year for European steelmaking, and I sincerely hope that Europe will hold good onto its commitment to defend and prioritize its domestic steel industry," said Mittal. He added that the trend in Europe to boost government spending on defence and infrastructure was positive for the steel industry. ArcelorMittal's shares slumped 3.9 percent in Paris where the CAC 40 index was up 0.4 percent. © 2025 AFP

Customs duties: The EU further abandons its Green Deal with pledge to buy US energy
The agreement unveiled on Sunday, July 27, between Donald Trump's United States and Ursula von der Leyen's European Commission goes beyond the matter of customs barriers – in this case, 15% on imports of European products, starting Friday, August 1. The Commission pledged that the member states of the European Union (EU) would significantly increase their energy supplies from the US over the next three years. The official pledge is to bring the total value of European purchases to $750 billion (€650 billion) over three years by sourcing American oil, liquefied natural gas (LNG) or nuclear fuel – an average of $250 billion per year. Pending further details, this figure raises questions. According to the online news outlet Contexte, it could represent the sum of investments already planned by European companies. Legally, "the EU cannot compel companies" to make this or that purchase, emphasized Phuc-Vinh Nguyen, head of the energy center at Institut Jacques-Delors, a French think tank. In 2019, China had already promised Trump to increase its energy purchases, but ultimately did not reach the pledged levels.

Firms in Vietnam walk tightrope as Trump's transshipping rule looms
Hanoi this month reached a deal with the United States, its main export market for products including clothing and shoes, that will see its shipments hit with a 20 percent toll. At Huashuo, which processes plastic imported from China, Chinese owner Gong Xihua told AFP the surcharges "will have no impact on me, because I am fully processing and producing here (in Vietnam)". The company makes plastic parts and packaging at its factory in the northern industrial centre of Hai Phong. "(Due to this) complete production process, it will not be considered as a Chinese product," he believes. But the agreement also provides for the rate to double to 40 percent on goods made in third countries that use Vietnam to circumvent steeper trade barriers, a process called "transshipment". And this poses a major challenge for Huashuo, which exports 90 percent of its goods to the United States while sourcing 40 percent of its plastic pellets from China. Under pressure from the United States, Hanoi had already committed in April to strengthening controls on the origin of goods to prevent fraud involving "Made in Vietnam" products. Vietnam 'most exposed' But without the details of the agreement, analysts are questioning the definition of a "transshipped" product. "There's also the very real possibility that transhipped goods include items made with a share of Chinese inputs," Adam Ahmad Samdin, an economist at Oxford Economics, said. In that case, among its peers in Asia, Vietnam is the "most exposed", he added. "Much also depends on the threshold set for domestic value-added or foreign inputs." Huashuo is banking on "very strict controls" by Hanoi, which requires that materials and production made in Vietnam represent at least 35 percent of the final product's value to issue a "certificate of origin", which is supposed to allow firms avoid the 40 percent US tariff. Each company must disclose the origin of its raw materials and purchases, and agree to factory visits. "Restrictions for exports from Vietnam are very strict... because if the requirements are not met, the United States will no longer trust Vietnam's certificate of origin," and will apply tariffs more widely, Gong said. The United States accounts for 32 percent of Vietnam's exports while 40 percent of its imports come from China. Washington has denounced the diversion strategy since it imposed prohibitive tariffs on imports from China in February. According to local data, between January and May, Vietnam's imports from China jumped about 25 percent year-on-year, while its exports to the United States increased more than 27 percent. However, Marcel Thieliant of Capital Economics said only about 20 percent of this increase to the United States "is due to an increase in rerouted goods that originate from China". That "implies that domestically produced goods account for the bulk of the increase in US-bound exports", he added. 'Many are waiting' With attractive costs and a favourable geographical location, Vietnam is benefiting from the "China plus one" drive of companies seeking to diversify their production bases. "Many large companies have already relocated from China to Vietnam," Huasho chairman Qiu Jide. China is the third-largest investor in the country, after South Korea and Singapore. But "Vietnam is essentially a... re-export and processing trade-oriented economy", and in the absence of details on the trade agreement, "few entrepreneurs are rushing to invest, many are waiting", Qiu said. If Washington were to penalise the share of Chinese materials or components in Vietnamese products, the China plus one strategy could be derailed. "The electronics sector, which has arguably benefited the most... is particularly vulnerable due to its high Chinese input content. Especially in electronics, Vietnam mostly deals with end-stage assembly," Samdin said. Natixis economist Alicia Garcia Herrero said: "Vietnam has massively increased its dependence on Chinese intermediate goods.
