Summary
President Trump is set to sign an executive order to modify tariffs on carmakers, responding to concerns from Ford and General Motors about rising production costs. The order will eliminate certain levies for automakers, allowing them to qualify for tariff relief on imported components, though these benefits will phase out over two years. While the changes aim to alleviate some financial pressure on the auto industry, a 25% tariff on imported vehicles remains, prompting concerns about higher car prices and ongoing economic uncertainty for manufacturers.
