Trump Proposes Unprecedented 200% Tariff on Mexican Vehicle Imports

This move intensifies Trump's protectionist trade rhetoric ahead of the November election, aiming to bolster the U.S. auto industry.

Donald Trump announced a potential 200% tariff on vehicles imported from Mexico during a rally in Wisconsin, doubling his previous 100% tariff proposal.
The proposed tariff is part of Trump's strategy to support domestic manufacturing and could lead to increased vehicle prices in the U.S.
The announcement comes as Trump campaigns vigorously in key states like Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, where he faces a tight race against Kamala Harris.
Experts warn that such a tariff could significantly impact the auto industry, affecting both new and used car prices and potentially leading to foreign retaliation.
Trump's comments also included criticism of the Biden administration's handling of Hurricane Helene, despite FEMA's defense of its response efforts.
