President Donald Trump is expected to announce new tariffs on auto imports at the White House at 4 p.m. Wednesday. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that Trump had added the event at a press briefing Wednesday afternoon. It follows Trump's saying on Monday that he would be announcing new tariffs involving auto imports "over the next few days, probably." Trump had already decoupled auto imports from a series of reciprocal tariffs he is widely expected to announce next Wednesday, on April 2, a day he has referred to as "liberation day." As part of those tariffs, he is expected to raise import tariffs to match those levied against U.S. exports to those countries.
