Trump delays auto tariffs. Pickup trucks might explain why
DETROIT (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump's 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico have sent the U.S. auto industry scrambling to plan for the massive tax on some of America's best-selling vehicles, including full-sized pickup trucks, while pinning their hopes on a potential deal in Washington. Hours after the tariffs went into effect, the White House threw the industry a lifeline, saying many North American-built vehicles would be exempt if they already followed complex rules of the 2020 U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement's rules of origin, enacted during Trump's first term.
