Market Chatter: Trump Cautions Carmakers Against Price Hikes Due to Tariffs

MT Newswires Live03-28

President Donald Trump told auto executives not to increase car prices in response to tariffs during a recent call, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday, citing people familiar with the discussion.

The warning reportedly left some participants uneasy, with concerns they could face repercussions if prices increased.

Trump said automakers should welcome the rollback of Biden-era EV policies and argued that tariffs would ultimately benefit the industry by promoting domestic production, the WSJ reported.

The White House did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
