Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Trump Delays Auto Tariffs by One Month Amid Escalating Trade War

HeadlineMar 06, 2025

The Trump administration announced a one-month exemption on auto tariffs for Mexico and Canada after speaking to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and pleas from the “Big 3” U.S. automakers — Ford, General Motors and Stellantis. Twenty-five percent tariffs on all other goods remain in effect. Canada and China have imposed retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products, while Mexico said it would announce their own countermeasures on Sunday. President Claudia Sheinbaum said Mexico could seek new trading partners in light of Trump’s trade war.

President Claudia Sheinbaum: “If needed, we’ll look for other commercial partners, anything to protect Mexico and Mexicans within the framework of sovereignty and dignity.”
