US carmakers have accused Brussels of keeping their largest pick-up trucks, including the ‌Ford F-150, ⁠the ⁠Chevy Silverado and the Ram 1500, off European roads, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday.

In ⁠a separate ‌interview with FT, Andrew ⁠Puzder, the US ambassador to the bloc, said that EU plans to change safety rules that could breach the ‌spirit of the trade deal if they prevented ⁠some American vehicles from being sold in Europe.

Reuters could not immediately verify the report.
