White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed in the briefing room that Trump spoke to the “Big 3” automakers and granted a one-month exemption “on any autos coming through” Canada and Mexico.
“Reciprocal tariffs will still go into effect on April 2, but at the request of the companies associated with USMCA, the president is giving them an exemption for one month so they are not at an economic disadvantage.”
