On the 26th, U.S. President Trump issued a statement announcing a 25% tariff on all imported cars, which would take effect on April 2.Trump also emphasized that the auto tariffs will be permanent, but if the car is manufactured in the United States, there will be no tariffs.As soon as the statement came out, it immediately attracted attention from all over the world. So which car company or which countries and regions are most affected?

Let’s look at the car companies first. What you may not expect is that,The largest imported car company in the United States is not another company, but General Motors, and it mainly transports cars to the United States from factories in Mexico, South Korea and China, accounting for 9.52% of imported cars.

Ranked second is Toyota, the leading Japanese car manufacturer. Its main factories are in Japan, Thailand and Brazil, and its share of imported cars accounts for 8.53%.

The third is Mazda, with its main factories in Japan and Mexico, accounting for 8.14% of imported cars, followed by Kia, Subaru, etc.

all in all,This time the United States imposes additional tariffs, Japanese and Korean brand cars are the first to bear the brunt. General Motors of the United States has even suffered a sap from its own people.Of course, it’s not just GM, Ford, Tesla, etc. will all be affected to varying degrees.

As for the largest source of U.S. passenger car imports (2023 data),Mexico ranks first, Japan ranks second, followed by Canada, South Korea, Germany, Slovakia, the United Kingdom, Italy, Sweden and Belgium.

It should be pointed out in particular that the U.S. auto market is different from the Chinese auto market. China’s imported cars are mainly high-end luxury cars.However, the major importers of cars in the United States are all grocery trucks such as General Motors, Toyota, and Mazda. The additional tariffs will only affect ordinary people..
