Trump Administration Softens Impact of Auto Tariffs
Tap title to read story
The White House announced a softening of automotive tariffs, preventing additional levies on steel and aluminum from compounding existing 25% tariffs on imported vehicles. While the 25% import tariff remains, reimbursements for auto parts tariffs will be offered, totaling up to 3.75% of a U.S.-made car's value in the first year, decreasing to 2.5% in the second, then phasing out. President Trump is expected to sign an executive order formalizing these changes.
