Trump gives Big 3 automakers one month reprieve for Canada, Mexico tariffs | TechCrunch
Briefly

President Trump has delayed the implementation of tariffs on automobile imports from Canada and Mexico for one month, a decision influenced by requests from major automakers like General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis. The tariffs were initially set at 25% and aimed at goods crossing from these neighboring countries, which were previously duty-free under the North American trade agreement. Automakers express concerns that these tariffs could inflate car prices significantly, leading to reduced demand, while industry leaders emphasize that moving production back to the U.S. is not currently feasible.
Trump's recent delay of tariffs on auto imports from Canada and Mexico follows strong requests from major automakers, recognizing the complexities of their supply chains.
While Trump pushes manufacturers to move operations stateside, Ford's CEO warns that prolonged tariffs could devastate the U.S. auto industry.
