President Donald Trump’s framework for a trade deal with the United Kingdom includes lower tariffs on vehicles from that nation, a move that U.S. automakers oppose.
American Automotive Policy Council President Matt Blunt said the import duties on UK vehicles could end up being lower than those on American-made vehicles.
“The U.S. automotive industry is highly integrated with Canada and Mexico; the same is not true for the U.S. and UK,” he said. “We are disappointed that the administration prioritized the UK ahead of our North American partners.”
