Hopefully, there will be as many complaints about this (which will increase the cost of everything) as the Tariffs Trump imposed.
Nope, as an European I'm totaly willing to pay a carbon tax and very happy that it will be less interesting to pollute for profit.

Trump is the worst thing this planet has to offer and his tariffs are akin to the biggest kid bullying the rest of the kindergarden court, I'm gonna boycott american products till I die.

This became just more regulatory moat-building to protect the lagging domestic European auto industry. And by 'auto industry' it means the industry of 2-3 countries. And that means basically 2-3 brands and no more. Other economic regions will retaliate in kind.
> As Moroccan firms will already pay a carbon price domestically, their exports are likely to avoid additional CBAM charges at the EU border, helping them remain competitive

As per some reports, EU was not agreeing to a similar proposal from India.
