Trump's decision to impose additional taxes on cars has sparked international reactions.

On March 26, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 25% tariff on all vehicles and auto parts not produced in the United States. This new policy will take effect on April 2, with collections starting on April 3. Trump stated that the decision aims to encourage domestic production, noting that companies manufacturing within the country will be exempt from this tax.

The White House indicated that the taxable products include vehicles such as sedans, SUVs, crossovers, minivans, and cargo vans, as well as essential auto components like engines, transmissions, and electrical parts. Experts warn that this decision could negatively impact the U.S. automotive sector, as many domestic manufacturers rely on foreign components, potentially leading to increased costs and reduced profit margins.
