When U.S. President Donald Trump announced 25 percent tariffs on all cars imported into the U.S. from April, and the same levy on all car parts from May, he described them as "permanent." 

Since then, his hard line on trade has become increasingly blurred… but, as things stand, what are the implications of the somewhat erratic U.S. trade policy for the automotive sector, global supply chains, and the world economy? 

In this episode of The Agenda, Juliet Mann speaks to Dan Hearsch, Leader of the Americas Automotive Practice at consulting firm AlixPartners; Burkhard Riering, Publisher and Editor of Germany's only automotive B2B publication, Automobilwoche; and Zhang Yu, Managing Director of Automotive Foresight.
