A new round of auto tariffs has just taken effect, potentially reshaping the automotive industry forever. As tariffs on car parts enter the U.S., economists warn that these could raise vehicle prices by $2,000 to $12,000. Various automakers are navigating this turmoil, with reports highlighting that five cars are least affected by tariffs while five face the greatest impact. Amid concerns, President Trump has signed orders aimed at easing these tariffs, prompting mixed reactions from industry leaders. The Ford CEO shared insights on the challenges posed by import dependency, stating that more measures are needed to support the U.S. auto sector. Meanwhile, U.S. vehicle sales have surged as buyers rush to make purchases before further tariff hikes.
