Mercedes-Benz Says Trump Is Holding It Back

Mercedes-Benz consists of elite consumption for a long time. Luxury vehicles are not just status characters. It is economic signals that explain how the wealthy of the world are spent. Thus, when Mercedes releases quarterly sales information, it is worth paying attention.

German Carmaker released sales figures in the second quarter on July 8 and took a very careful picture of both imagining and imagining. The data shows Mercedes-Benz sells their most expensive cars in Blistering in America. Amg LineUp and Badge G-Class requires higher vehicles, including the highest vehicles, more than 26 percent. On the global scale, the plug-in Hibrid (PHREV), the plug-in sales of the plug-in the last quarter, jumping 34 percent in the last quarter.

Again, on a global scale, Mercedes-Benz is declining.

At the global scale, the company declined a 9 percent decrease in sales in the second quarter of 2025. This fall is not because of lack of interest in interest. Mercedes blamed “new global tariff policies”, especially in the United States and China, he decided to lower the seller’s resources. Now a clear reference to President Donald Trump, in the second term returned to use tariffs as a center of industrial policy. Mercedes and other German carers were once again caught in the intersection of the global trade tension.

“Despite our tariffs affecting our global sales in the second quarter, we see good customer needs in the United States and Germany, including our highest vehicles,” he said. Translation: Customers are there, but cars are attached to the geopolitical pipeline.

Mercedes sold 453,700 vehicles in the world between April and June. If not for trade restrictions, this figure could be higher. Instead, the company plays defense: voting shipments, the seller fund and penalty re-looking for global logistics to prevent punishment tariffs. A bright point? The US market.

American Mercedes-Gasoline has become a second largest market and there are no signs of the sale performance. Top-Latest vehicles organized more than 14 percent of the total Q2 sale. AMG supply increased by 19 percent. G-class sales exploded 56 percent.

Mercedes-Benz USA has recently invested in a flagship Manhattan dealer and appointed a new CEO Chamberlain: “We will open this important market potential,” he said.

But the winning in America is fighting in China.

Although Mercedes can protect his crown as China’s best luxury brands, the company described as “high competitors” as “high competitive”. Beijing’s aggressive “Chinese” policy policies will shrink the fertilization, and have brands that are more compared to imported brands such as Mergedes.

Home performance was a mixed bag. Mercedes, Xeus-battery-electricity and plugin hybrids, 21 and 40 percent of global sales, he said in Europe. However, the company did not violate only electricity in release, but the full electricity is a sign that expectations are left behind.

Hope there are some jobs. All electric sedan, was well received in Europe. And Mercedes, the company, which is scheduled for the second half of 2025, he said, “The largest car launched car launched car”.

Still Q2 paints a picture of a car production. As the demand grows and new models hit the streets, the Mercedes retreated for those who are political. Trump’s protectionist policy forces not only sell foreign carmers, but when, when, and even.

Mercedes-Benz confirmed that he was just afraid: Politics now manages Global Auto.
