U.S. President Donald Trump has agreed to put a one-month pause on imposing tariffs on the auto sector after discussions with the “big three” automakers.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the latest development yesterday, noting that Trump is “open” to hearing about other tariff exemptions.

“We are going to give a one month exemption on any autos coming through USMCA,” Leavitt announced. “Reciprocal tariffs will still go ahead on April 2nd, but at the request of the companies associated with USMCA, the President is giving them an exemption for one month so that they are not at an economic disadvantage.”

Meanwhile, the White House says it will continue to “stand up” to countries who have been “ripping off” the United States even while reiterating that the tariffs imposed on Canada are based on the fact that this country isn’t doing enough to stem the flow of fentanyl into the U.S.

Last year, just 43 pounds of fentanyl was stopped by U.S. officials heading into the United States from Canada. Leavitt responded to questions from reporters following discussions between Donald Trump and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau earlier in the day.

Leavitt reiterated that families who have lost loved ones to fentanyl “are grateful to finally have a president who is standing up to both Canada and Mexico and most importantly to China.”
