Presidential Proclamation on Adjusting Imports of Automobiles and Auto Parts

May 20, 2019

On Friday, May 17, President Trump concurred with findings by the Commerce Department that imports of automotive vehicles and parts threatened to impair national security. As a result, the President directed the U.S. Trade Representative to pursue negotiation of agreements with the EU and Japan, and any other country the Trade Representative deems appropriate, to remove the threatened impairment. The Trade Representative is to report his results to the President within 180 days, at which time the President will determine if further action is required under Section 232.
