  • President Donald Trump agreed to delay tariffs for one month on some vehicles built in North America after a call with the CEOs of General Motors and Ford and the chair of Stellantis, the White House said Wednesday.

The article from MSN discusses how former President Donald Trump, during his term, decided to delay imposing tariffs on imported cars and auto parts from the European Union and Japan. This decision came after significant lobbying from the Detroit Three automakers—General Motors, Ford, and Fiat Chrysler (now part of Stellantis). The tariffs, which were initially proposed under the guise of national security concerns, would have added a 25% duty on these imports. The delay was seen as a response to the potential negative impact on the U.S. auto industry, which relies heavily on global supply chains. The article highlights the tension between protectionist trade policies and the interconnected nature of modern automotive manufacturing, where parts and vehicles cross multiple borders before reaching the consumer. This move was part of broader trade negotiations and reflected the complex balance between protecting domestic industries and maintaining international trade relations.
