He noted that since the U.S. announced reciprocal tariffs in April, Taiwan’s car sales have slowed, with a clear drop in “gray market” Mercedes sales. If U.S. tariffs drop to zero, Mercedes will adjust some prices but won’t start a price war. He emphasized the need for time to plan and meet market demands.
