July 30 (Reuters) - Car sector-specific tariff deals
with the United States are "very uncertain", Mercedes-Benz
CEO Ola Kaellenius told analysts on Wednesday,
throwing some cold water on hopes firms may be able to negotiate
individual deals.
The U.S. struck a framework trade deal with the European
Union on Sunday, imposing a 15% tariff on most EU goods - half
the threatened rate - and averting a bigger trade war between
the two allies that account for almost a third of global trade.
"We have been extensively engaged in the conversation that
has been going on between the United States and the EU .. For
all intents and purposes, that global deal for now is it," said
Kaellenius, also the president of Europe's car lobby ACEA.
