US President Donald Trump signaled potential relief for the auto industry, causing a surge in shares of global carmakers. Trump hinted at assistance for companies, acknowledging the need for time to shift parts production to the US. This follows previous tariff threats that significantly impacted carmakers' shares and global supply chains. While some relief is offered, uncertainty remains about the long-term implications.
