According to The Wall Street Journal, President Donald Trump warned the heads of several leading car manufacturers against increasing their prices because of tariffs. He emphasized that such a move would be viewed negatively by the White House, which led some of these executives to worry about possible retaliation if they did decide to raise prices.
On Wednesday, Trump declared a 25% tariff on auto imports, a decision the White House claims would support the growth of domestic manufacturing. However, this could also create financial pressure on carmakers who rely on international supply chains for production.

On Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a grim warning to Ukrainian forces, saying he would “finish off” their troops, following his decision to launch attacks on a Ukrainian energy facility. This move came despite a previous ceasefire arrangement, backed by the United States, which called for a temporary halt to hostilities.
The assault targeted a Ukrainian position in Kherson on Thursday, violating a delicate agreement meant to pause military activity in the Black Sea region and suspend long-range strikes on critical energy infrastructure.
Despite earlier promises to stop targeting Ukrainian energy facilities, Putin insisted that Russian forces continue their offensive into Ukraine and even intensify their strikes.

An inflation gauge closely watched by the Federal Reserve remained high last month even before the impact of most tariffs has been felt. Americans’ spending increased after a steep fall last month but remained weak, suggesting consumers have turned more cautious this year. Friday’s report from the Commerce Department showed that consumer prices increased 2.5% in February from a year earlier, matching January’s annual pace. Excluding the volatile food and energy categories, core prices rose 2.8% compared with a year ago, higher than January’s figure of 2.7%. Economists watch core prices because they are typically a better guide of where inflation is headed. The core index has barely changed in the past year.

President Donald Trump’s 25% tariffs on autos not made in the U.S. and certain auto parts are sending more tremors through an industry already being pummeled by steel and aluminum import duties and on-again, off-again 25% levies on Canada and Mexico. The new tariffs, announced Wednesday, are likely to jack up new vehicle prices and will also impact the used car market. Trump has been itching to tax foreign autos for years. In his first term, he declared auto imports a threat to national security giving him the authority to impose tariffs on them. It’s the latest in a number of auto industry maneuvers by Trump during his first weeks back in the White House.
