Vice President Vance on Wednesday suggested that industries other than US automakers are seeking tariff exemptions, but the Trump administration will not expand its sculpture.
While visiting the tropical border, the reporter asked Vance about other industries after the White House exempts cars from a one-month exemption on one-month tariffs on Canada and Mexico.
“Many industries are reaching out to us and asking for tariff exceptions,” he said. “[Trump] We hope that customs duties will be widely applied. He doesn't want to get 500 different carve outs to 500 different industries. ”
“The way to avoid applying tariffs is to have your factory and put your facility in the United States. That's an investment in the United States. That's how you can avoid being punished by these tariffs,” Vance added.
Trump continued to impose a 25% tariff on all imports from Mexico and Canada on Tuesday, speaking with leaders from Ford, General Motors and Stellarantis, and agreed to provide a one-month exemption for the automakers associated with it.US-Mexico-Canada Trade Agreement(USMCA).
Furthermore, Vance, particularly when asked what the Mexican government can do to end the 25% tariffs imposed on goods from the country, said the vice president “can take this issue of immigration enforcement seriously.”
“To take border security work seriously, we need a sustained commitment from the Mexican government. Fentanyl is the single biggest cause of death among young Americans. We want fewer Americans to die from these horrifying fentanyl overdose. We plan to apply as much leverage as possible to the Mexican government,” Vance said.
On Wednesday, the White House kept the door open to include other industries in its temporary tariff exemption.
When asked if other sculptures would come, Trump said he “hears about the additional exemptions.”
The one-month car delay expires in early April, when Trump committed to impose mutual tariffs on all other countries tasked with American goods.
