Trump plans to facilitate the tariff effects on US career | Trump -Zölle

Donald Trump plans to pillow the effects of his tariffs on US car manufacturers by facilitating some tasks on foreign vehicle parts, according to his administration.

“President Trump builds an important partnership with domestic car manufacturers and our great American workers,” said the Minister of Commerce Howard Lutnick in a statement presented by the White House.

“This deal is an important victory for the president's trade policy by rewarding companies that are produced in Germany, and at the same time providing manufacturers the starting path that have expressed their commitment to invest in America and expand their domestic production.”

The move means that, according to Wall Street Journal, in which the development was reported for the first time, auto companies do not calculate any other taxes on how they pay via steel and aluminum.

According to the plans, car manufacturers could receive partial reimbursement for tariffs for imported car parts based on the value of their US car production.

Cars that have been produced outside the USA are still exposed to Trump's tariffs, but are freed from other taxes. It is expected that the plan will be officially confirmed later on Tuesday.

Trump travels to Michigan on Tuesday to commemorate his first 100 days in office, a time when the Republican President improved the global economic order.

The move to alleviate the effects of auto -levies is the youngest of his administration, which shows a certain flexibility in the tariffs who have chosen turbulence on the financial markets, created uncertainties for companies and triggered fear of sharp economic slowdown.

On Monday, the car manufacturers said that they had expected from Trump that they would give relief from the car tariffs before their trip to Michigan, in which the “Detroit Three” companies and more than 1,000 large auto providers are located.

The managing director of General Motors (GM), Mary Barra, and the head of Ford, Jim Farley, praised the planned changes. “We believe that the president's management contributes to the fact that companies like GM take up competitive conditions and enable us to invest even more in the US economy,” said Barra.

According to Farley, the changes will “contribute to alleviating the effects of tariffs on car manufacturers, suppliers and consumers”.

Last week, a coalition of the US automotive groups asked Trump not to import 25% tariffs. Trump had previously said that he was planning to collect tariffs from 25% on Auto parts at the latest on May 3.

“The tariffs for auto parts will mess up the global supply chain of the automotive automotive and carry out a domino effect that leads to higher car prices for consumers, sales at dealers and makes the maintenance and repair of vehicles both more expensive and less predictable,” said the industry groups in the letter.

The letter from the groups that represent the GM, Toyota Motor, Volkswagen, Hyundai and others was sent to the US sales representative Jamieson Greer, finance minister Scott Bessent and Lutnick.
