The White House confirmed a report in the Wall Street Journal that automakers won't face additional tariffs for goods like steel and aluminum.

The Trump administration says automakers won't get hit twice by its tariffs, which have applied to both auto parts as well as steel and aluminum.

President Donald Trump is on track to blunt the pain of tariffs affecting the auto industry, with changes for parts in US cars that are built overseas and the so-called stacking of levies on foreign-made vehicles.
