President Donald Trump on
Wednesday (9 April ’25) paused for 90 days many tariffs but is not halting 25%
tariffs on automotive imports and looming tariffs on auto parts, drawing
criticism from Michigan business and auto groups. The Detroit Regional Chamber and MichiganAuto called on Trump to
protect the automotive industry's complex international supply chain framework
from harmful fragmentation that weakens its global competitiveness. "Michigan's
signature industry and the supply chains and employees that sustain it will
continue to endure the uncertainty and disruption of these fluctuating trade
policies," they said in a statement.
