Watch: US drivers react to Trump's new auto tariff
The BBC went to car dealerships outside of Washington DC to ask drivers how President Trump's auto tariff will affect them. On Wednesday, the president announced a 25% tariff on all imports of cars and car parts manufactured outside the US. The latest tariff is set to come into effect on 2 April. The president said the measure would lead to "tremendous growth" for the industry, promising it would spur jobs and investment in the US.
