Group 1: Tariff Impact on the Automotive Industry - President Trump announced a 25% tariff on imported cars starting April 2025 and on auto parts starting May 2025, affecting 8 million imported vehicles annually, which constitutes 50% of total new car sales in the U.S. [2] - The automotive supply chain in the U.S. is highly globalized, leading to increased costs for car manufacturers due to tariffs, prompting many companies to raise vehicle prices [2][10]. - Analysts predict that the new car prices could increase by 10% to 15% for vehicles directly affected by the tariffs, while those not fully impacted may see a 5% increase [10].
