The new duties will be temporarily suspended in all cars imported through the tripartite trade agreement between the US, Canada and Mexico,
Donald Trump has decided to exclude the tariffs the cars imported from Canada and Mexico, according to White House spokesman Carolin Levitt.
The new duties will be temporarily suspended “in all cars imported through” the tripartite trade agreement between the US, Canada and Mexico, known as USMCA.
Trump’s decision to “compensate tariffs” in other foreign countries “will normally apply from April 2,” Levit said. “But at the request of the companies included in the USMCA, the president decided to provide an exception for a month so that they would not be in dire financial time.”
The decision was taken after Trump’s conversation with Ford’s leaders, General Motors and Stelantis, known as the “big three” automakers, as Levit said.
Earlier on Wednesday, Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trinto spoke by phone for 50 minutes, according to a Canadian government source at CNBC.
Commerce Minister Howard Lutnik and Vice President Jay Di Vance also participated in the conversation, the same source said.
