GM CEO Mary Barra says tariffs will cost the company up to $5 billion this year

General Motors (GM) projects $4-$5 billion in losses this year due to the Trump administration's tariffs on imported cars and auto parts. Despite this, CEO Mary Barra stated that GM doesn't plan to raise car prices to offset the costs, impacting its profit guidance. The company slashed its profit forecast, halting stock repurchases and affecting profit-sharing payments for its employees. GM's reduced earnings are attributed to tariffs on vehicles built in Mexico, Canada, and South Korea, along with imported parts used in US-built vehicles. While acknowledging the significant financial impact, Barra expressed hope for future trade policy changes.
