Car bosses are "surprised and confused" by President Trump's announcement that he is planning to impose tariffs on metal imported to America.

The tariffs, which could be set at 25 per cent for steel and 10 per cent for aluminium, have the potential to drastically affect how European car manufacturers trade with the US.
