US automakers furious at Trump’s trade deal with UK — and here’s why

A group representing General Motors, Ford and Stellantis blasted President Trump’s trade deal announced with the United Kingdom, saying it would harm the US auto sector. British carmakers will be given a quota of 100,000 cars a year that can be sent to the United States at a 10% tariff rate, almost the total Britain exported last year, compared to 25% for Mexico and Canada and nearly all other countries. “Under this deal, it will now be cheaper to import a UK vehicle with very little US content than a USMCA compliant vehicle from Mexico or Canada that is half American parts,” said the American Automotive Policy Council, which represents the Detroit Three automakers.
