Slovakia: the small automotive powerhouse fears Trump's tariffs
6 min
Available until 02/07/2026
Slovakia, a car manufacturing giant relative to its size, produces 1 million vehicles yearly and exports heavily to the U.S. But new 25% U.S. tariffs threaten jobs and production. Firms like TSA and VW fear relocation. Slovakia’s industrial past also fuels a growing arms industry, with exports surging amid the war in Ukraine and global demand rising.
