US White House Press Secretary Leavitt: Trump will give auto industry an extension on tariffs
|
According to US White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, US President Donald Trump is granting the US automotive industry, which is incredibly dependent on foreign trade, a one-month exemption from this week's stiff 25% tariffs imposed on Canada and Mexico.
The White House administration has also tilted toward other possible exemptions or delays as the Trump team continues to prove markets right and pivots once again on the majority of its own threats to impose stiff import taxes on its own citizens.
