Trump to Pause Auto Tariffs for Canada and Mexico for One Month
Published On Mar 5, 2025, 12:29 PM
President Trump has paused the implementation of a 25% tariff on cars imported from Canada and Mexico for one month. This decision follows discussions with major automakers, who expressed concerns that the tariffs would significantly harm their profitability. The exemption aims to give these companies time to adjust operations amid pressures to bring production back to the U.S. while other tariffs remain in effect.
