“Volkswagen and Stellantis evade Trump’s 25% tariffs, while BMW braces for impact”
March 10, 2025
“Last week, it was announced that President Donald Trump’s new 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada would exempt vehicles that comply with the USCMA trade deal.
German carmaking giant Volkswagen told CNBC that its operations meant it would be exempt from the levies.
BMW meanwhile said it would not be given an exemption under the rules, warning that tariffs would hinder free trade and make products more expensive…”
“Free trade” is garbage. Nothing in life is free. The President wants FAIR trade not some scam called “free trade.” If Germany’s really serious about free trade lets see them lower their tariffs to 0%. That way our reciprocal tariffs will also be zero for them. Then free trade would actually be achieved for BMW.
