US automakers blast Trump's UK trade deal
- On Thursday, a new trade agreement was announced between the United States and the United Kingdom, reducing the tariff on the first 100,000 British-made vehicles imported into the US to 10 percent.
- The deal follows prior USMCA rules negotiated by Trump in 2020, which organize Detroit automakers’ supply chains around 25 percent tariffs on autos from Canada and Mexico, causing tensions.

- AAPC president Matt Blunt expressed concern that the agreement makes it more affordable to bring in vehicles from the UK containing minimal American components than to import USMCA-qualifying vehicles from Mexico or Canada that have a significant proportion of parts made in the US.
- Blunt voiced concern that granting the UK favored access over North American partners could lead to similar treatment being extended to Asian and European exporters in upcoming trade discussions.
