Trump Rolls Out Tariffs On Imported Cars

President Donald Trump announced Wednesday his decision to implement a 25% tariff on imported cars, effective April 2.

This tariff will affect both finished cars and trucks entering the United States, including those of American brands assembled abroad. Under the authority granted by Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, President Trump is imposing a 25% tariff on imports such as passenger vehicles—including sedans, SUVs, crossovers, and light trucks—and essential automobile parts like engines, transmissions, and electrical components. This measure aims to adjust imports for the sake of national security.


“If parts are made in America and a car isn’t, those parts are not going to be taxed or tariffed, and we will have very strong policing,” Trump said. “It’s one number, and that number is going to be used to reduce debt greatly in the United States and build things.”
