General Motors believes it can mitigate up to 50% of potential North American tariffs threatened by President Donald Trump on imports from Canada and Mexico, CEO Mary Barra said Tuesday.
That includes GM potentially avoiding short-term impacts of between 30% and 50% of the additional costs “without deploying any capital.”
Earlier in the day, Ford CEO Jim Farley said Trump’s tariffs and threats are causing “chaos” for the U.S. automotive industry.
