American car buyers are facing sticker shock as President Trump weighs new tariffs on imported vehicles and auto parts.
The Commerce Department is concluding its investigation into whether imported cars and parts pose a national-security threat under Section 232 of U.S. trade law, with a deadline of Sunday to submit its findings to the president.
Mr. Trump has already voiced support for levies of 20%. If the tariffs are imposed, then the prices of cars from Japan, Germany, South Korea would rise sharply, assuming those countries don’t receive exemptions.
But buyers of domestically produced cars could be shelling out more too if tariffs are imposed on components since between 40% and 50% of the average U.S.-built vehicle is assembled with foreign-made components, the Center for Automotive Research estimates.
I found this article becausears are the main means of transportation for Americans and an integral part of American family property. According to incomplete statistics, Americans have an average of 2.28 vehicles per family, 31% of American families owning a car, and two. 34% and 35% of the three, so the ups and downs of car prices have a very direct impact on American daily life.
