President Donald Trump agreed to a 30-day pause on 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico on Monday, while a 10% tariff on China kicked in on Tuesday. The tariffs could inject chaos into auto supply chains, experts say. The auto industry accounts for 26% of imports from Mexico to the US, and 12% from Canada, UBS researchers estimated.

Ford's outlook for 2025 sees full-year 2025 adjusted EBIT of $7 billion to $8.5 billion, and $3.5 billion to $4.5 billion in adjusted free cash flow. CEO James Farley said on an earnings call that a few weeks of tariffs are "manageable."

Auto stocks rose Tuesday after the Trump administration agreed to delay imposing new tariffs on Mexico and Canada, offering relief to an industry that relies heavily on both countries for manufacturing.
