WASHINGTON, March 5 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump
held a call Tuesday with the CEOs of General Motors ( GM ) and
Ford and the chair of Stellantis ( STLA ) to discuss the
potential of delaying tariffs on North American-built vehicles
by 30 days, two sources told Reuters.
Automakers have offered to boost U.S. auto investments but
want certainty about tariff and environmental policies, the
sources added.
GM CEO Mary Barra, Ford CEO Jim Farley along with Ford
executive chairman Bill Ford and Stellantis ( STLA ) chair John Elkann
told part in the call. The automakers have urged Trump to waive
25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada on vehicles that comply with
the 2020 U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement's rules of origin.
