What are the immediate impacts of the 25% US tariff on Canadian automakers and the Canadian economy?

The 25% US tariff on Canadian vehicles, coupled with retaliatory Canadian tariffs on US vehicles, severely damages the industry as 90% of Canadian auto production is exported to the US. This leads to reduced sales, increased costs, and potential job losses within the Canadian auto sector, impacting over 130,000 direct manufacturing jobs.

How has the limited budget affected electric vehicle sales and market share in Greece, and what are the broader implications?

The dwindling budget has caused a decrease in electric car sales. In July 2025, the market share of new fully electric cars dropped to 4.5% compared to 7.2% in July 2024. This is compounded by high electric vehicle prices relative to Greek household incomes. The EU-wide market share for fully electric vehicles is 15.6%, highlighting Greece's lagging adoption rate.
