Trump may have to choose: Making trade deals or keeping his car tariffs
President Donald Trump is telling domestic audiences he won't cut his 25 percent tariffs on foreign cars as part of any trade deals he negotiates. But other countries — who collectively send millions of vehicles to the U.S. each year — haven't gotten that message. Trading partners like the EU, Japan and South Korea are laboring under the impression that the auto tariffs, which Trump imposed in April, are still on the table, according to two people familiar with the talks between Trump officials and those countries, granted anonymity to discuss private conversations. If Trump is really unwilling to lower or eliminate his tariffs on foreign cars, it could prove to be a major hurdle to securing meaningful trade deals with some of the country's top trading partners. Japan, South Korea and Germany sold more than $121 billion in cars and car parts in the U.S. in 2024. The White House did not answer when asked if auto tariffs were on the table for negotiations and instead reiterated the goal of the tariffs. 'No president has taken a greater interest in reviving America's once-dominant auto industry than President Trump, and the auto industry is a key focus of the Trump administration's trade and economic policies,' said Kush Desai, a White House spokesperson. 'Discussions with our major trading partners continue, and the Trump administration continues to seek better trade deals for American industries and workers.' A decision to lift the tariffs for more countries, particularly those whose companies compete most fiercely with American carmakers, risks alienating a powerful manufacturing bloc and undercutting a central tenet of Trump's trade agenda — forcing companies to build more products in the U.S. The Trump administration has assured American automakers that when it comes to auto tariffs being used as a bargaining chip, they have 'nothing to worry about,' according to a person familiar with discussions between the administration and Detroit's 'Big Three' auto companies, granted anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the talks. Trump has said a deal to lower the tariff on a small number of British cars, announced last month, was an exception. 'I won't do that deal with cars' for other countries, Trump said when announcing the terms of negotiation with the U.K. on May 8. The British auto brand Rolls-Royce is 'a very special car and it's a very limited number too. It's not one of the monster car companies that makes millions of cars,' he noted. Even that agreement, which lowered the tariff on 100,000 cars, less than 1 percent of total U.S. annual car sales, drew a sharp rebuke from U.S. automakers. 'This hurts American automakers, suppliers, and auto workers,' the American Automotive Policy Council, which represents General Motors, Ford and Stellantis, said at the time, saying they hoped it 'does not set a precedent for future negotiations with Asian and European competitors.' The tension between the two goals — boosting domestic auto production while also negotiating delicate agreements to lower trade barriers — highlights the challenge facing the administration as it races to secure deals with dozens of countries before the president's double-digit 'reciprocal' tariffs are slated to kick back in next month. 'To ease the sting of those tariffs on the auto sectors for Korea and Japan is of course a high priority for them,' said Michael Beeman, a former assistant U.S. trade representative who focused on Japan and South Korea. 'I think for those countries, to be able to declare success from the talks at home, they would expect some sort of consideration.' The auto tariffs have already been a sticking point in negotiations with Japan and South Korea, both of which are invested in maintaining a high level of domestic auto manufacturing. Auto exports from South Korea to the U.S. have exploded over the past 20 years, from $8.7 billion in 2005 to $37.3 billion in 2024, according to data collected by the Census Bureau. Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba has said publicly that any trade deal with Japan would have to result in lower auto tariffs. Now, as the two countries are on their fifth round of talks, with a planned meeting between Ishiba and Trump at the G7 in Canada in two weekends, both countries are projecting optimism about a deal. 'I think we'll also need to address, at a minimum, the auto [Section] 232 tariffs,' said Wendy Cutler, a former negotiator with the U.S. trade representative's office and the vice president at the Asia Society Policy Institute, said when asked what it would take to get a deal with Japan. Cutler said any deal with Japan or South Korea could have a lower tariff for a certain number of vehicles, similar to the deal with the U.K. Or, 'they could also just be very vague and say that the U.S. notes Japan's concern on the auto tariffs, and both sides agree to negotiate possible lowering of the tariffs in this detailed negotiation to follow,' she said. Trump has already agreed to lower tariffs on automobiles once. In his first trade agreement since imposing a global 10 percent tariff on nearly every U.S. trading partner and potentially higher rates on more than 60 countries, Trump struck an agreement with the U.K. that would allow the country to ship 100,000 vehicles into the country at a 10 percent tariff — lower than the current 25 percent tariff on automobiles and auto parts. The deal drew condemnation from American automakers, who noted that it meant a lower tariff on cars imported from the U.K. than on North American-made cars that include U.S.-made parts. They expressed concern that lowering tariffs with major auto manufacturing countries like Japan, South Korea and Germany would make it more expensive to build cars with parts from North America — creating an unfair playing field and effectively undercutting the administration's effort to boost domestic auto manufacturing. Vehicles made across the integrated North American supply chain still face a 25 percent tariff on non-U.S. made content, even if the vehicle is compliant with the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement that Trump negotiated in his first term. The Trump administration has continued to press foreign automakers to move production to the U.S. Last week, Trump met with German automakers, who offered $100 billion in investment in the U.S., according to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. Trump — and Republicans on Capitol Hill — say those commitments are a sign that tariffs are working. 'They make BMWs in South Carolina, Volvo. They make Mercedes in Alabama,' Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) pointed out during a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing Wednesday. Under Trump, 'They're talking about making the engine now in South Carolina. They're talking about more content in South Carolina.' There has yet to be an uptick in U.S. auto manufacturing, however, a reminder that the investment pledges will take years to fully develop. Auto manufacturing jobs held steady between April and May, though there were 2,240 fewer auto manufacturing jobs in May, compared to 2024, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. While welcoming the announcements, the Trump White House has given no indication the investment pledges will convince the president to lower auto tariffs on foreign countries. 'I mean, unless somebody shows me that there's another kind of a car that's comparable to a Rolls-Royce,' Trump said in May, 'and there aren't too many.'

Big Budget Bill Triple Whammy: Energy Prices, Economy, And Environment
The Reconciliation Bill (also known as the 'One Big Beautiful Bill') was passed by the US House of Representatives by one vote. It proposes to eliminate tax credits and other funding for electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy. According to a Princeton University energy policy report, the House-passed version of the Bill, currently under consideration in the Senate, raises three red flags: for our household energy bills, our economy, and our environment. The House bill would raise US household and business energy expenditures by 25 billion USD annually in 2030 and over 50 billion USD in 2035. An average household will see a rise in energy costs of $100-$160 per year in 2030, and between $270 and $415 per year in 2035. This amounts to a 9% average rise in energy prices across the 2030 — but as much as 17% in TX, OK and PA. The energy price increases come at a time when more than a third of Americans are struggling to afford their power bill. The situation is worse for renters and those making under $50,000 per year, nearly one-half of whom struggle to pay their electric bills (compared to about a third in 2023), according to the electric utility industry group Energy Central. The increase in household energy expenditures is because the Reconciliation Bill would repeal most financial incentives for building renewable electricity sources like solar, wind, and battery storage, which now generate electricity cheaper than do fossil fuels. Older folks may remember when the Japanese beat out American auto manufacturers because the US companies refused to recognize the burgeoning demand for smaller vehicles. The House version of the Reconciliation Bill will help America repeat this mistake. While Chinese manufacturer BYD is moving ahead with inexpensive, high quality EVs, the Reconciliation Bill could reduce annual US sales of electric vehicles by roughly 40% in 2030 and end America's battery manufacturing boom. This despite a recent 15% growth in EV sales in the U.S., a near quadrupling in Brazil, sevenfold increase in Viet Nam, and 50% increase in sales in India during the first quarter of 2024. According to the International Energy Agency, the maturing EV market has shown robust growth, with 2024 sales to surpass those of 2023 by more than 20% and EVs to reach a share in total car sales of more than one-fifth. If the US is to remain competitive in a global market, it needs to expand its EV manufacturing capacity. The solar industry faces similar threats. According to the Solar Energy Industries Association, Texas, home to the fastest-growing solar market in the country, will lose 34,100 jobs by 2030. Florida, a state that has already installed enough solar capacity to power 2 million homes, stands to lose nearly 22,000 jobs. Were the incentives included under the Biden administration for renewables like solar and wind be maintained, we would reduce American dependence on foreign oil, and thus boost our national security. The result of proposed tax policy changes in the House-passed Reconciliation Bill would significantly slow US progress towards renewable energy and a healthier environment. According to Energy Innovation, a non-partisan think tank, repealing federal clean energy funding and tax credits would increase air pollution, particularly impacting those who live near power plants. Climate emissions would also rise, an outcome that impacts all of us regardless of where we live. Interestingly, the new field of attribution science makes it possible to determine the contribution of climate change to a single extreme weather event, like a particular heat wave or flood, and to calculate the proportional responsibility for that event of a specific source of emissions, like a fossil fuel company. This ability to follow disasters to their source is being used in an increasing number of lawsuits around the world. Getting back to the House version of the Reconciliation Bill, its impact will be to increase US greenhouse gas emissions by roughly a half billion metric tons per year by 2030 and more than 1 billion metric tons per year by 2035 – the equivalent of adding 219 million cars to the road. The House-passed bill would also kill the nascent clean hydrogen, CO2 management, and nuclear power sectors. Rob Orvis, senior director at Energy Innovation, captured the three clean energy-related impacts of the current Reconciliation Bill in comments to The Guardian: 'This bill is worse than what people envisioned – it pulls the rug out from facilities banking on [EV and clean energy] Government incentives for EV and solar power have been an unusual coming together of our household finance, economic, and environmental interests. They have contributed to economic growth and declining climate emissions. Let's try to keep it that way in the future.

Bitcoin surges to $108,000 as top US and Chinese officials meet to discuss tariffs
Bitcoin leaped to $108,000 on Monday, after hovering near $105,000 for most of the weekend, as top U.S and Chinese officials get ready to meet in London this week in the hopes of salvaging a fraying trade deal. Bitcoin gained 2% on Monday, according to Binance, briefly touching $108,900 before falling slightly. The bump comes as investors express optimism about the potential for a resolution of trade disputes between the U.S. and one of its largest trading partners. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and China's vice premier for economic policy He Lifeng will lead their respective delegations in negotiations that are expected to begin Monday and continue into Tuesday, according to the New York Times. This week's talks are part of President Donald Trump's ongoing campaign to force U.S. trading partners to concede to various demands by threatening to impose hefty tariffs on foreign imports. After Trump announced a sweeping tariff policy in April that would affect nearly all U.S. trading partners, the president authorized a 90-day pause to allow time for negotiations. However, the pause did not include tariffs on China, which were raised to 145%. The policy triggered retaliatory levies from China and led many investors to flee American markets, fearing the consequences of a potential trade war. Bitcoin fell to a yearly low of $75,000 as tensions between the nations escalated. After a summit in Geneva last month, Trump reversed course and announced on May 12 that the U.S. and China had reached an agreement in which the two nations would temporarily lower their tariffs and hold additional talks to reduce tensions. Bitcoin surged to an all-time high of $111,000 on May 22, following news of the deal. But the truce did not last long. Trump accused China of reneging on the deal over a dispute about Chinese exports of rare earth magnets. Trump wrote on Truth Social on May 30: 'China, perhaps not surprisingly to some, HAS TOTALLY VIOLATED ITS AGREEMENT WITH US. So much for being Mr. NICE GUY!' In an effort to salvage the fraying trade deal, Trump and Xi talked over the phone for the first time in months last week. Following the 90-minute call, Trump announced that top officials from both countries would meet in London this week to resume negotiations. Other factors that may be contributing to Bitcoin's price surge are an increase in crypto-related IPOs. Last week, stablecoin giant Circle went public on the New York Stock Exchange and saw its shares pop over 168%, jumping from $31 to $69 within the first day of trading. Gemini, a crypto exchange founded by the Winklevoss twins, also filed for an IPO on Friday, in another example of the crypto industry becoming more intertwined with traditional finance. 'While the IPO bump is likely short-term excitement, the long-term institutional positioning leads us to be bullish about Bitcoin's continued performance in 2025,' David Siemer, CEO of crypto asset management company Wave Digital Assets, told Fortune.
