Some car buyers have been rushing to showrooms across the country this weekend, as automakers brace for Trump’s 25 percent tariffs on vehicles and auto parts made outside the United States. The tariffs kick in on Thursday and could raise some car prices by thousands of dollars.

U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of a 25% tariff on auto imports rippled throughout the world on Thursday, as global carmakers warned of immediate price hikes and dealers raised fears of job losses in big auto-exporting countries,

During the announcement, President Donald Trump made several claims about auto production in the U.S. that were false.

Working-class car buyers will be the hardest hit by U.S. President Donald Trump’s 25% tariff on imported vehicles because almost all low-cost new cars sold in the United States are built elsewhere.

Carmakers are likely to face higher costs regardless of how they respond to President Trump’s 25 percent tariffs on cars and auto parts.

"I couldn’t care less. I hope they raise their prices, because if they do, people are gonna buy American-made cars. We have plenty," Trump said.
