US planes, cars, drinks on EU list for potential tariffs

REUTERS/Fabian Bimmer/File Photo BRUSSELS (Reuters) -Aircraft, machinery, cars, chemicals and medical devices are the leading big-ticket items on the latest list of U.S. goods the European Commission has proposed to impose tariffs on if talks with Washington do not yield an agreement on trade. The package is the second put forward by the European Commission, which oversees trade policy for the 27-nation European Union. It is designed to respond to U.S. tariffs on cars and car parts and a baseline tariff, currently at 10%. U.S. President Donald Trump, however, is now threatening a baseline tariff on imports from the EU of 30% from August 1, a level European officials say is unacceptable and would end normal trade between two of the world's largest markets. The list, sent to EU member states and seen by Reuters on Tuesday, covers U.S. goods imports worth 72 billion euros ($84.1 billion). It also includes electrical and precision equipment as well as agriculture and food products - a range of fruits and vegetables, along with wine, beer and spirits - worth a total of 6.35 billion euros. A first package on 21 billion euros of U.S. goods was approved in April but then immediately suspended to allow room for negotiations. That suspension has been extended to August 6. EU officials said on Monday that they were still seeking to strike a deal to avoid Trump's heavy tariff blow, but EU trade chief Maros Sefcovic said member states had agreed the bloc would need to take countermeasures if talks with the U.S. fail. The Commission initially put forward the second package in May for a public consultation. The proposal then related to 95 billion euros of U.S. goods. It has since been whittled down, though most of the main items have remained. There is no specific date for EU members to approve the package.

Tesla opens first India showroom in Mumbai amid EV push
MUMBAI: Tesla officially entered the Indian market with its first showroom opening in Mumbai, marking a strategic move by Elon Musk's electric vehicle giant to expand beyond slowing sales in the US and Europe. The inauguration was led by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, with select visitors granted early access. Tesla's India debut follows years of hesitation due to the country's steep import duties on EVs. Musk has previously called India's tariffs 'among the highest in the world,' though he acknowledged the nation's potential. New Delhi has offered reduced import taxes conditional on automakers committing to local manufacturing, but Tesla has yet to announce plans for an Indian plant. Initial sales will rely on vehicles imported from China, with deliveries expected by late August. The Model Y starts at around $70,000 in India—nearly double its US price after federal incentives. Analysts caution that Tesla's premium pricing may limit its appeal in a price-sensitive market dominated by affordable Chinese rivals like BYD. India's EV sector is growing but remains niche, accounting for under 3% of total car sales in 2024. Counterpoint analyst Soumen Mandal predicts modest initial sales of 500–700 units, tapering to 200–300 monthly. 'Tesla won't chase volume immediately due to its pricing,' Mandal noted. The launch coincides with ongoing US-India trade talks, including potential auto tariff reductions. Musk met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in February, signaling deeper engagement with India's evolving EV policy landscape. - AFP

India orders fuel switch checks on Boeing jets after deadly Air India crash
NEW DELHI: India has ordered its airlines to examine fuel switches on several Boeing models after they came under scrutiny following last month's crash of an Air India jet which killed 260 people. A preliminary report, issued Saturday by India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau, found that the switches had flipped from run position to cutoff shortly after takeoff. The report did not offer any conclusions or apportion blame for the June 12 disaster, but indicated that one pilot asked the other why he cut off fuel, and the second pilot responded that he had not. India's Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) issued the order Monday to investigate the locking feature on the fuel control switches of several Boeing models including 787s and 737s. The order came after Boeing notified operators that the fuel switch locks on its jets were safe. But it was in line with a Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin (SAIB) issued by the US Federal Aviation Administration, which recommended inspection of the locks to ensure they could not be moved accidentally. Several Indian and international airlines have already begun their own inspections of fuel switches. "It has come to the notice of DGCA, that several operators – internationally as well as domestic – have initiated inspection on their aircraft fleet as per the SAIB," DGCA said in a statement. In view of the SAIB, all airline operators of the affected aircraft must complete the inspection by July 21, it added. The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner was headed from Ahmedabad in western India to London when it crashed, killing all but one of the 242 people on board as well as 19 people on the ground. In a letter to employees on Monday, Air India CEO Campbell Wilson said the investigation into the crash was ongoing and it would be unwise to jump to "premature conclusions."--AFP
