Important Note:
Mexico and Canada get assurance Trump won’t suddenly charge them with auto tariffs on car and vehicle parts coming from overseas into the United States. Along with the new trade deal, his administration signed “side letters” allowing the two nations to mostly dodge Trump’s auto tariffs.
