Trump administration wants to raise North American auto content to 82%, with half from US
The Trump administration is proposing to increase the regional content requirement for North American-built vehicles to 82 percent under the USMCA, with 50 percent of that content sourced from the United States.

Negotiations are ongoing, and the U.S. Trade Representative may present these new rules to Canada as a take-it-or-leave-it offer.
