Donald Trump has said he “couldn’t care less” if carmakers raise prices after his 25% tariffs on foreign-made vehicles comes into effect.

Some analysts have warned that Trump’s import charges could lead to the temporary shutdown of a proportion of US car production, with increased prices passed onto consumers.

But the US president told NBC News on Saturday that he hoped foreign carmakers will raise prices as it meant “people are gonna buy American-made cars – we have plenty”.

On Wednesday, Trump announced new 25% tariffs on cars and car parts entering the US to begin on 2 April. Charges on businesses importing vehicles are expected on 3 April, and taxes on parts are set to start in May or later.

When asked about what his message was to car bosses, he said: “The message is congratulations. If you make your car in the United States, you’re going to make a lot of money.”
He continued: “If you don’t, you’re going to have to probably come to the United States, because if you make your car in the United States, there is no tariff.”
But Trump told NBC that he did not plan to delay the tariffs on cars any longer, saying he would consider negotiating “only if people are willing to give us something of great value – because countries have things of great value, otherwise, there’s no room for negotiation”.

Analysts say the tariffs could further strain relations with some of the US’s main trading partners.

Several major economies have also vowed to retaliate in response to Trump’s tariffs.
Germany has said it “will not give in” and that Europe must “respond firmly”, while France’s president branded the move “a waste of time” and “incoherent”.
Canada has called it a “direct attack”, and China accused Washington of violating international trade rules.
