According to reports from U.S. media on the 22nd local time, leaders from six major U.S. automotive industry organizations, including the American International Automobile Dealers Association and the National Automobile Dealers Association, have sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Besant, Commerce Secretary Lutnick, and U.S.

Trade Representative Greer. They are urging the Trump administration not to impose the 25% tariff on auto parts set to take effect on May 3, warning that such a move could jeopardize U.S. automotive production. The letter highlights that many automakers are already “in distress” and unable to bear additional cost increases, which could lead to broader industry issues.
