A coalition of auto industry groups, including manufacturers and dealers, say in a letter that car parts tariffs will cripple industry.

The Trump administration is considering whether to reduce certain tariffs targeting the auto industry that carmaker executives have warned would deal a severe blow to profits and jobs.

Powerful industry trade groups representing automakers, dealers and suppliers sent a joint letter Monday to top Trump administration officials warning of the devastating impact on the U.S. auto industry from tariffs that are set to go into effect on May 3.
