Detroit’s automakers asked the White House to shield them from new tariffs that President Donald Trump vowed to impose after the Supreme Court struck down most of his global duties.
The person said the White House hasn’t yet responded to the letter, which was reported earlier by the Wall Street Journal.
Trump said Friday that he planned to impose a flat 10% levy on foreign goods in the coming days, and that he would order a raft of trade investigations that should allow him to enact more permanent tariffs.
