EU and China reach deal to halve hybrid car exports, averting trade war

EU Trade Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič met with Chinese officials in Beijing, agreeing to reduce China's hybrid car exports to the EU by more than half, thereby avoiding a full-blown trade war. The deal likely involves managed trade or price commitments, though specific terms remain undisclosed. This de-escalation reduces near-term risk of retaliatory tariffs and supports EU-China trade stability.
