This policy will take effect on April 2, with tariffs starting to be collected by the federal government on April 3.Trump highlighted that vehicles produced by foreign companies in U.S.facilities would be exempt from these tariffs.He praised several foreign automakers,such as Honda,for their plans to expand their American operations in response to his management&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/under-trump-americans-have-seen-their-best-wage-growth-in-40-years\/\" title=\"Under Trump, Americans Have Seen Their Best Wage Growth In 40 Years\">trade policies<\/a>. The tariffs are part of Trump&#8217;s ongoing strategy of imposing trade barriers on various countries and sectors, including previous tariffs on steel and aluminum. His administration has touted the new tariffs as a way to ensure fair trade practices and protect American workers. Additionally, trump has suggested that he may offer exceptions to the tariffs for some countries, despite his earlier stance of no exceptions. The proclamation coincides with planned future tariffs covering multiple sectors, underscoring Trump&#8217;s aggressive approach to trade negotiations.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump announces new 25% tariffs on auto imports<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2075426\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Donald-Trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Donald Trump<\/a> announced new 25% tariffs on the auto industry Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;What we&rsquo;re going to be doing is a 25% tariff on all cars that are not made in the United States,&rdquo; Trump declared from the Oval Office, noting that cars produced by foreign companies in the U.S. would not be subject to the new barrier taxes.<\/p>\n<p>Trump stated that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/american-decline-ford-to-manufacture-import-lincoln-suvs-from-china\/\" title=\"American Decline: Ford To Manufacture, Import Lincoln SUVs From China\">auto tariffs<\/a> would go into effect on April 2 and the federal government would start collecting fees on April 3.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3359543\/white-house-talking-points-trump-atlantic-signal-group-chat\/\">White House talking points: How Trump administration is pushing back on Atlantic&#8217;s Signal group chat reports<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/finance-and-economy\/3360011\/watch-live-trump-remarks-new-auto-tariffs\/\">WATCH LIVE: Trump delivers remarks on new auto tariffs<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3359695\/white-house-defiant-signal-hoax-briefing\/\">White House defiant over &#8216;Signal hoax&#8217; in testy briefing<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>The president specifically commended a number of foreign automakers, including Honda, for announcing that they would be expanding their American production facilities in the face of his tariff agenda.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;In all cases, they wouldn&rsquo;t have done it without what we&rsquo;re doing,&rdquo; he declared. &ldquo;Others will come into our country and build, and they&rsquo;re already looking for sites.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Trump has implemented a growing list of tariffs on <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">individual trading partners<\/a> and specific sectors.
