Donald Trump's latest tariffs will apply to cars and automobile parts coming into the US - but American companies and consumers will feel the effects too

The article from MoneyWeek discusses the potential impact of former President Donald Trump's proposed automobile tariffs on the U.S. economy. Trump has suggested imposing a 10% tariff on all imported cars, which could significantly affect both domestic and international car manufacturers. The article outlines that these tariffs could lead to higher prices for consumers, retaliation from trade partners, and disruptions in global supply chains. It also mentions the historical context of Trump's trade policies, including his previous tariffs on steel and aluminum, which led to trade wars with countries like China and the EU. Critics argue that such tariffs could harm the U.S. auto industry by increasing costs for parts and potentially reducing market access for American-made vehicles abroad. Conversely, supporters believe it would protect American jobs and encourage domestic production. The piece also touches on the political motivations behind these tariffs, suggesting they are part of Trump's broader "America First" economic strategy.
