When he introduced the car tariffs, Trump said it would boost the American car manufacturing industry, but within a month of their introduction he eased tariffs on foreign car parts. The UK reached a deal with the White House in May to reduce car tariffs to 10% on up to 100,000 vehicles, which is still considerably higher than the previous tariff of 2.5%. Other countries remain in negotiations with the US, and Trump has recently threatened to lift overall tariffs on the European Union and Mexico if they retaliate against the US tariff regime. Trump has also threatened to lift tariffs on Brazilian exports to 50% if the country does not drop a case against far-right former president Jair Bosonaro, a Trump ally facing prosecution over an alleged coup plot. Stellantis has three facilities in Brazil, producing Fiat, Jeep and Citroen vehicles. Stellantis is not the only car manufacturer dealing with the repercussions of Trump's tariffs. In June, JLR downgraded its profit predictions after it halted all exports to the US in April before resuming shipments in May after the UK deal was reached. Last week, JLR announced it was cutting up to 500 management jobs in the UK amid ongoing pressure on its sales from tariffs.
