Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said that Canadian and Mexican goods compliant with USMCA, the free-trade agreement President Trump signed with the countries in 2020, likely won’t have a tariff until next month.

Ford, GM and Stellantis have been pressing Lutnick to exempt USMCA-compliant vehicles, while the United Auto Workers have pressed the administration to exempt key auto parts from tariffs that could slow auto production. The Detroit Three held a virtual meeting last week with Lutnick to make the case, two sources briefed on the meeting said.

Imports from Mexico and Canada that are compliant with the trade deal will not be subject to tariffs until April 2. FMI praised the move.
