Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has temporarily halted shipments of its UK-manufactured vehicles to the US for a month as it strategizes to mitigate the impact of a 25% car tariff implemented by Donald Trump. This decision comes as the US market is vital for JLR, accounting for nearly a quarter of their sales. With current stocks already in the US unaffected by tariffs, fears have emerged regarding the future of Britain's automotive workforce, with estimates suggesting that over 25,000 jobs could be at risk due to reduced exports.
Jaguar Land Rover is pausing shipments of UK-made cars to the US for a month as it assesses strategies to manage the impact of Trump's new tariffs.
With a significant tariff of 25% imposed on imported cars, JLR aims to navigate the new trading terms with business partners while assessing potential job losses.
Exports to the US represent nearly a quarter of JLR's sales, making it critical for the UK's car industry, which employs about 200,000 workers.
The sudden tariffs have raised alarms about potential job losses within Britain's automotive sector, with about 25,000 direct positions at risk according to the IPPR.
