Auto Care Association President and CEO Bill Hanvey said of the impact of Trump Administration tariffs, “Our industry relies on highly integrated supply chains that benefit the economies of all three countries, ensuring the availability of affordable vehicle repairs for millions of consumers. These supply chains also create jobs on both sides of the border, supporting a strong and resilient workforce."

According to New York Times reports, the U.S. and Canada have agreed to a 30-day postponement on tariffs as the two countries negotiate a border deal.

"We don't want to be here. We didn't ask for this. But we will not back down in standing up both for Canadians, and for the incredible, successful relationship and partnership between Canada and the United States," Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said at a press conference.

The U.S. and Mexico have negotiated a postponement of tariffs scheduled to launch today. Mexico, in its part of the deal, will deploy 10,000 troops to the U.S.-Mexico border to combat drug trafficking, while the U.S. will work to prevent high-powered weapons from entering Mexico.
