  • In an address from the Oval Office, Trump said the U.S. would impose new 25% tariffs on all vehicles imported from other countries on April 2. Roughly half of the approximately 16 million vehicles sold in America in 2024 were imported, according to S&P Global Mobility
  • primarily from Canada, Mexico, South Korea, Japan and Germany.

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's proposal to impose a 25% tariff on all foreign cars, a policy he suggested during his 2024 presidential campaign. This tariff would significantly increase the cost of imported vehicles, aiming to protect and boost the U.S. auto industry by making domestic cars more competitive. Critics argue that this could lead to higher prices for consumers, potential trade retaliation from other countries, and might disrupt global automotive supply chains. The article also mentions that this move could be part of Trump's broader strategy to appeal to American manufacturing workers and to fulfill his "America First" economic policy. However, the implementation of such tariffs would likely face significant opposition and could have complex economic repercussions both domestically and internationally.
