On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced from the Oval Office that there will be 25 percent tariffs on all cars not made in the United States.
In a move he called “very modest,” the president announced that “what we’re going to be doing is a 25 percent tariff on all cars that are not made in the United States.” He made clear that cars made at home will have “absolutely no tariff.”
“We start off with a 2.5 percent base, which is what we were at, and we go to 25 percent,” Trump continued, before also making a point about tariffs have been reported by the media. “And basically as you know, as you’ve been seeing, not reporting as accurately as it should be reported, because it’s a massive story, businesses coming back to the United States, so that they don’t have to pay tariffs.”
