Any views on tariffs in relation to new cars and leases
Discussion
With Trumps announcement of 25% tariffs on cars it's being reported that a number of models may no longer be available in the US due to the viability and sales into the US are going to drop due to the extra costs.
When tariffs have been applied in the past on other sectors there is often dumping into countries that do not have the tariffs, in this case exports to the US may find their way to the UK or other countries that has a knock on effect.
Whilst these announcements are often watered down, as they stand there will be a 25% tariff, a trade war is not going to be good for anyone but purely from a volumes perspective will it eventually feed through with more attractive or worse deals as manufacturers scramble to fill the void left by a fall in US sales.
