British automaker Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has announced a temporary pause in vehicle shipments to the United States, citing the need to reassess operations following the Trump administration’s newly implemented 25 percent tariff on vehicle imports.

“The USA is an important market for JLR’s luxury brands,” the company said in an emailed statement to The Epoch Times. “As we work to address the new trading terms with our business partners, we are taking some short-term actions including a shipment pause in April, as we develop our mid-to-longer term plans.”
