President Trump stated he “couldn’t care less” if foreign automakers increase prices because of tariffs, during a recent interview with NBC News. He also addressed the Signal group chat controversy.
Auto Tariffs and Price Hikes
Trump dismissed concerns about potential price increases following the imposition of 25% tariffs on foreign-made automobiles.
“I couldn’t care less if they raise prices because people are going to start buying American-made cars,” Trump stated.
He emphasized that companies manufacturing in the U.S. would prosper, while those importing would likely need to relocate production to avoid tariffs. An aide clarified that Trump’s comments referred specifically to foreign car prices.
Permanent Tariffs
The President affirmed the tariffs would be permanent, citing decades of unfair trade practices. The tariffs are scheduled to take effect on April 2, prompting criticism from international leaders.
Signal Chat Incident
Trump downplayed the controversy surrounding a Signal app group chat involving military attack plans being inadvertently shared with a journalist. He asserted he wouldn’t fire anyone involved, dismissing the issue as “fake news” and a “witch hunt.”
Greenland Acquisition
Trump reiterated his interest in acquiring Greenland, stating, “We’ll get Greenland. Yeah, 100%.” He suggested it could potentially be achieved without military force but didn’t rule out any options. He cited international peace, security, and strategic concerns regarding Russian and Chinese ships operating near Greenland.
This article was updated to reflect that after the interview, an aide to Trump followed up with NBC News to say that Trump was referring to foreign car prices.
