<h1>US Imposes 25% Tariff on Imported Cars, Raising Concerns Over Consumer Prices and Global Supply Chains</h1> Global automakers are concerned about the impact of a new 25% tariff on imported cars imposed by the US, set to begin on April 3 under President Trump. This move aims to boost US jobs and tax revenues but is expected to raise car prices for consumers and disrupt global supply chains. The tariffs also affect imported auto parts, valued at $197 billion last year, and have already caused a drop in automaker stock prices. While US automakers are less exposed to retaliation, foreign carmakers with US plants may still face challenges. Policymakers globally are considering responses, hoping negotiations might prevent a trade war.
