President Trump is set to announce later today tariffs on automobiles.
The tariffs are expected to be narrower than the administration once envisioned and are expected to apply to finished vehicles coming into the but not automotive parts.
Trump said for months that he would impose reciprocal tariffs on April 2 that would equalize U.S. tariffs with those other countries charged.

that some countries might not be subject to duties equal to what they charge.
An administration official said the White House is considering a plan that would offer nations some lenience.
Later in the show,
we'll talk about the dilemma facing governments on the receiving end of US Tariffs.
