G.M. Has Plans Ready for Trump’s Canada and Mexico Tariffs
Published On Jan 28, 2025, 6:30 AM
General Motors is monitoring President Trump's proposed 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico but has decided not to take significant actions yet. The company has prepared various strategies but will wait for clearer signs of the tariffs' permanence before implementing any changes. The tariffs, if imposed, could significantly impact G.M., which relies heavily on production in Mexico for key vehicle models, potentially raising vehicle prices in the U.S. G.M. has recently reported a loss of $3 billion due to restructuring costs, although revenue for the same period increased by 11%.
