Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced his intention to impose new tariffs on imported cars to the United States, expecting the decision to take effect "around April 2." This statement came during a campaign rally, where he emphasized that this step aims to support domestic manufacturing and reduce reliance on foreign imports.

Trump indicated that these tariffs will be imposed on vehicles coming from foreign countries without specifying precise details about the tariff rates or targeted countries. He added that the action is part of his plan to restructure international trade in favor of the U.S. economy, affirming that he will work to protect jobs in the automotive manufacturing sector within the United States.

This move is expected to provoke strong reactions from the United States' main trading partners, such as Japan, Germany, and South Korea, as many of the largest automotive companies in these countries rely on the U.S. market.

No official details have yet been released regarding how these tariffs will be implemented and whether they will be subject to later adjustments, but this announcement reflects Trump's ongoing approach of using trade policy as a means to boost the national economy, a strategy he adopted during his previous presidential term.
