U.S. car makers seek to have certain parts excluded from tariffs, Bloomberg says

U.S. car makers are lobbying the Trump-led White House to exclude certain vehicle parts from tariffs as part of efforts to influence such tariffs before they begin taking effect later this week, Bloomberg’s Keith Naughton, David Welch, and Jennifer Dlouhy report, citing people familiar with the matter. Ford (F), GM (GM), and Stellantis (STLA) are now aiming to avoid paying the additional taxes on thousands of parts they source globally, including from Mexico, the authors say, noting that they have met with the White House, the Commerce Department, and U.S. Trade Representative about the matter.
