Trump plans to ease US import tariffs on cars and auto parts

Donald Trump intends to reduce the proposed tariffs on imported cars and auto parts. The decision is motivated by the fact that the United States has managed to achieve the target of stimulating the local industry, according to Bloomberg.

US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick argues that Donald Trump's tariff policies are providing a significant advantage to national automakers. However, the approach does not rule out international cooperation, but it prioritizes partnerships with countries willing to invest in US manufacturing.

In addition to the above-mentioned motives, the easing of the duties is explained by the effect of several tariffs on a number of imported products. In order to avoid multiple levies, some nations will be exempted from additional payments for steel and aluminum supplies. However, these measures will be gradually tightened.

American automakers welcomed the tariff reductions proposed by the US President, as they had earlier raised concerns about potential supply chain disruptions. Ford Motor CEO Jim Farley expressed his willingness to collaborate with the Trump administration to strengthen the domestic auto industry.
