President Trump has imposed 25% tariffs on all cars imported into the U.S., aiming to boost domestic manufacturing. The tariffs, effective April 3, will also apply to auto parts starting May 3, potentially raising car prices by thousands of dollars.
📉 Market Reaction: Stocks of GM, Ford, and Stellantis fell after the announcement.
🚗 Industry Impact: Half of U.S. car sales in 2024 were imports, and automakers may struggle to shift production.
💰 Consumer Impact: Car prices are likely to rise, as supply chains are deeply integrated across North America.
🌍 Global Response: The EU and Canada are considering retaliation.
What do you think? Will this move help U.S. manufacturing, or hurt consumers? #TradeWar #AutoIndustry #Economy
