Car companies urged the Trump administration to secure tariff relief as part of next year's renegotiate of the North American trade pact.

In letters submitted to the United States Trade Representative, automakers said that tariffs on products from Canada and Mexico should be reevaluated when the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or USMCA, is reviewed in 2026.

Cars and parts from Mexico and Canada are currently subject to a 25% tariff, with some relief on parts put into cars assembled in the U.S.

Jeep maker Stellantis said that final tariff rates for USMCA-compliant vehicles "should be eliminated, or at the very least, substantially reduced," in part because of competitive advantages for companies making cars in countries with lower rates.

Autos Drive America, a trade group representing foreign automakers with U.S. operations, such as Toyota and Hyundai, said it urged the three countries to reach an agreement on "restoring duty-free treatment for USMCA-origin vehicles and parts."
