On April 2, President Trump signed a proclamation implementing a 25% tariff on U.S. auto imports, initially targeting fully assembled vehicles. This move has the potential to impact the automotive supply chain, including companies like Genuine Parts, which could face increased costs or shifts in demand due to the tariffs.
