Six of the top policy groups representing the U.S. automotive industry are uncharacteristically joining forces to lobby the Trump administration against 25% tariffs on auto parts that are set to take effect May 3 .

The letter notes many auto suppliers are already "in distress" and wouldn't be able to afford the additional cost increases.

The groups say they represent the country's No. 1 manufacturing sector that supports 10 million American jobs in all 50 states.
