President Donald Trump will ease some levies imposed on foreign auto parts intended for use in U.S.-made vehicles, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said on Monday.

Lutnick stated that Trump was “building an important partnership” with U.S. automakers through a deal intended to help lessen the impact of his tariffs on the domestic auto industry.
