Trying to keep track of all this tariff stuff? Here's how it's impacting the car industry and you.

Does the mind boggle at all these zig-zagging, on-again, off-again Trump administration tariffs on, well, the entire world? With President Trump slapping a 25-percent duty on automotive goods (including both foreign-assembled vehicles and parts), a 10-percent-minimum across-the-board tariff on everything else, "reciprocal" tariffs of dubious calculation, and higher tariffs on China specifically, there is a lot of disruption going on in general and the car business in particular, which is an especially global industry with supply chains that snake across and between continents, touching both foreign and domestic automakers and suppliers, whether they build cars here or not.

Our handy tracker won't answer your every question about, say, import duties on goods from penguin-inhabited islands or China, but it will cover the major developments in tariffs impacting the automotive industry. From automaker responses, Trump administration announcements, U.S.M.C.A. carve-outs for Canada and Mexico, and how all this effects you, the American car shopper, this will be your one-stop-shop for all things tariffs.
