South African Car Exports to U.S. Plunge Over 80% as Trump Tariffs Hit Hard

South African auto shipments to the United States fell more than 80% in April and May 2025 as a result of President Donald Trumps hefty 25–30% tarif

South African auto shipments to the United States fell more than 80% in April and May 2025 as a result of President Donald Trumps hefty 25–30% tariffs.

With thousands of jobs at stake and communities like East London on the verge of economic collapse, industry group Naamsa issued a socioeconomic crisis warning. Other OEMs, like MercedesBenz, might reduce production or reevaluate their upcoming expenditures. Although negotiations are still stuck, South Africa has suggested a dutyfree quota of 40,000 automobiles. Although experts agree it wont happen overnight, export diversification is encouraged.

In order to avert the imposition of high tariffs that are scheduled to take effect on August 1, 2025, the European Union and South Korea are negotiating trade agreements with the United States rapidly. As tensions over international trade rise, President Donald Trump has proposed a 25% tariff on South Korean exports and a 30% duty on the majority of imports from the EU and Mexico. While Yeo Hankoo, the trade minister of South Korea, indicated a willingness to agricultural concessions, EU Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic cautioned that such levies might severely harm transatlantic activity. Should negotiations fail, Italy has planned €21 billion in punitive levies. Market responses have been subdued, but sectors like spirits and cars are preparing for the effect. Both areas want to avert economic disruption by reaching inprinciple agreements prior to the deadline. Read More..
