Donald Trump: « I don’t care at all »

The President of the Swiss Trump said on Saturday that he « cares at all » of any increasing car prices in the United States following the imposition of customs duties on imported vehicles and parts, AFP reports.

The statement came a few days after Wall Street Journal reported that Trump threatened the car sector leaders in case of pricing.

« I don’t care at all. I hope the prices will increase, because if they do it, people will buy cars made in the United States. We have a lot of these, » he told the NBC Kristen Welker channel on Saturday.

Donald Trump on Thursday imposed an additional 25% charge on light cars and trucks in the United States, which is to be in effect on April 3.

Customs taxes on the imported auto parts of Mexico and Canada, covered by the US-Mexico-Canada (USMCA) agreement, will be postponed, but the situation remains uncertain for mixed supply chains.

President Trump plans to stimulate American production and save the domestic industry.

But the prices of the actions of the largest American car producers have already been affected by its ads, and experts are afraid of higher prices for buyers.

Asked by NBC News what message he wants to convey to worried car leaders, Trump said: ‘The message is +congrats +’.

« If you produce the car in the United States, you will earn a lot of money. Otherwise, you will probably have to come to the United States, » he added
