President Trump’s recent tariffs have thrown the U.S. auto industry into turmoil, leading to substantial cost increases for companies like Ford and GM. These financial burdens are impacting profitability across the sector and raising concerns about broader economic effects on global markets and investor confidence, even though these impacts may be indirectly related to cryptocurrencies. Major automakers such as Ford and GM are facing significant production costs due to tariffs, while Tesla also contributes to this trend. Executives, including Ford CEO Jim Farley, have called for regulatory changes to mitigate these financial strain. 800 million dollars in anticipated costs alone were cited by Ford for Q2 alone and an expected 3 billion dollar figure for the year as a whole.
