U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday he plans to impose tariffs on imported cars around April 2.

Trump made the remark in the Oval Office when asked by reporters about his auto tariff comments earlier in the week.

"Over the next — sometime, maybe, around April 2," Trump said. "I would have done them on April 1, believe it or not. I'm a little superstitious. No, literally, we had it planned for April 1. I said, 'let's make it April 2.'

. . .

The scope of the tariffs is unclear.

Mump is solving the global warming crisis! First slap a tariff on the raw materials coming from Canada to the US for machining, then go through Mexico’s retaliatory tariffs to the assembly plants in Mexico, then this new round of tariffs on the finished product going to car lots in the US.

It’ll be so expensive that nobody will be able to afford to buy a vehicle, curbing emissions overnight! The oil industry will collapse as a result.
