LOUISVILLE, Ky. — President Donald Trump’s reprieve for automotive parts tariffs is helpful, but still not enough to help with growing the U.S. auto industry, Ford Motor CEO Jim Farley said Wednesday.

The new actions reimburse automakers for some U.S. parts and reduce the “stacking” of tariffs upon each other for the industry.
AI Summary
Main Idea: Ford CEO Jim Farley said Trump’s new tariff changes help auto makers, but he said more policy changes are still needed to support U.S. car growth.
Key Points:
- Trump signed an order that gives auto makers partial relief on some tariffs tied to U.S. parts and reduces tariff “stacking.”
- Farley said the move will ease costs for automakers, suppliers, and consumers, but it does not fully fix the problem.
- He said U.S. policy should also reward companies for building cars and parts in America and help encourage exports.
- Tariffs on imported vehicles stay in place, and new 25% tariffs on auto parts are still set to begin, though some U.S.-assembled vehicles may get partial reimbursements for two years.
Impact on the People
Negative Impact
Auto tariffs can keep car prices, parts costs, and repair bills higher for households, and more tariff changes add uncertainty for workers and small suppliers.
Positive Impact
Ford’s push for relief could help protect US auto jobs and ease some cost pressure on vehicles built in America.
