President Donald Trump was adamant that his recently announced 25% tariffs on automobile imports will be permanent after they go into effect on April 2.
Donald Trump said he 'couldn't care less' if international automakers increase pricing due to his tariffs as people will 'buy American-made' vehicles.
"I couldn’t care less. I hope they raise their prices, because if they do, people are gonna buy American-made cars. We have plenty," Trump said.
The Trump administration’s new taxes on imports could focus on the “dirty 15” rather than all countries that trade with the U.S.

President Donald Trump says he is placing 25% tariffs on auto imports, a move the White House claims will foster domestic manufacturing but could also put a financial squeeze on automakers that depend on global supply chains.
