US President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he was placing 25 per cent tariff on auto imports, a move that the White House claims would foster domestic manufacturing but could also put a financial squeeze on automakers that depend on global supply chains.
"This will continue to spur growth. We'll effectively be charging a 25 per cent tariff," Trump told reporters.
The tariffs could be complicated as even US automakers source their components from around the world, meaning that they could face higher costs and lower sales.
Shares in General Motors have fallen roughly 3 per cent in Wednesday afternoon trading. Ford's stock was up slightly. Shares in Stellantis, the owner of Jeep and Chrysler, have dropped nearly 4 per cent.
Trump has long said that tariffs against auto imports would be a defining policy of his presidency, betting that the costs created by the taxes would cause more production to relocate to the United States.
But US and foreign automakers with domestic plants still

Indian auto component makers are more likely to be impacted than their vehicle manufacturing counterparts by US President Donald Trump's tariff war, industry observers said on Thursday.
Trump on Wednesday announced imposition of 25 per cent tariffs on auto imports from April with another 25 per cent tariffs expected to be applied on imports of major automotive parts -- engines and engine parts, transmissions and powertrain parts, and electrical components by May.
"It is the Indian auto components industry that is more likely to face the heat due to the US tariff as exports from here to the US are significant.
"Indian vehicle makers are less likely to be impacted as there are no direct exports of fully built cars from India to the US," an industry executive told PTI on the condition of anonymity.
According to industry estimates, India's auto component exports to the US was USD 6.79 billion in FY24, while the country's imports from the US stood at USD 1.4 billion at 15 per cent duty.
