Summary

75% Informative

President Donald Trump announced sweeping auto tariffs on foreign cars and car parts that go into effect on 2 April .

Experts warn that tariffs could raise prices for US consumers, amplifying the stress of an already sluggish economy.

Trump administration has argued that tariffs will lead to "tremendous growth" and increase jobs in the US .

A study predicted that a 25% tariff on imports would reduce almost 75% of US car imports by about 5% .

Hyundai announced it would invest $ 21bn ( 16.3bn ) in the US by building a new steel plant in Louisiana .

But the tariffs are likely to impact domestic cars as well.

Parts criss-cross the borders several times before they are assembled, which means that even a vehicle as iconically American as a Ford pickup truck could see a sticker price increase.
