Trump administration wants to raise North American auto content to 82%, with half from U.S.
The Trump administration is proposing to raise the regional content requirement for North American-built vehicles to 82% under the USMCA. This new requirement would stipulate that 50% of the content must be produced in the United States, with no mandatory content from Canada. This proposal marks a significant change from the existing USMCA standards.
- ▪The proposed increase in regional content is part of negotiations in Mexico City over revisions to the USMCA.
- ▪Currently, the USMCA requires 40% of core parts value for passenger cars to be produced in high-wage jurisdictions.
- ▪The existing threshold for pickup trucks is 45%, and overall vehicles must have 75% North American content to qualify for preferential treatment.
