Donald Trump’s second presidency has been anything but uneventful so far, and the automotive industry isn’t missing out on the excitement. The USA intends to impose tariffs of 25% on car and automotive parts imports from 2 April 2025, a measure that the SMMT calls “disappointing” but “not surprising”. The UK trade organisation calls upon the Trump government to consider alternate means of benefitting both British and American manufacturers.
