🚦 Key points of the auto tariff policy
🕒 Tariff imposition date:
📢 Tariffs on imported cars are scheduled to be imposed starting April 2, 2025.
🌍 Target of tariffs:
🚗 🇰🇷 🇯🇵 🇩🇪 Major auto exporting countries such as Korea, Japan, and Germany are likely to be affected. (Specific tariff rates not yet disclosed)
🤝 Relationship with existing trade agreements:
📝 Vehicles produced in the US, Canada, and Mexico are likely to be exempted under the North American Free Trade Agreement (USMCA), but the relationship with this measure is still unclear.
🎯 Policy background and purpose
⚖ Correcting trade imbalances:
💬 President Trump claims that the US auto industry is being treated unfairly in overseas markets, and he is trying to resolve this by imposing tariffs.
🏭 Protecting US manufacturing:
🇺🇸 The Trump administration is pursuing a strategy to expand domestic auto production and reduce overseas production.
🇰🇷 Impact on South Korea
📉 Concerns about decreased exports:
🚘 Since South Korea's share of auto exports is high, imposing tariffs is expected to weaken price competitiveness and reduce exports.
🌐 Ripple effects across the economy:
⚙ The automobile industry is one of the core industries of the Korean economy, and there are concerns that it will have a negative impact on the automobile parts and related industries.
✅ Countermeasures
🏭 Expansion of local production:
