Daimler shrugged off concerns over possible import tariffs in both Britain and the United States, with Chief Executive Dieter Zetsche saying there had been positive signs from the US administration on free trade.

“We are relaxed about further developments,” Zetsche told reporters at the Geneva auto show.

Regarding talks on Britain’s decision to leave the European Union, Zetsche said: “I believe reason will come through in the end.”
