Jaguar Land Rover pauses US shipments

LONDON: Jaguar Land Rover, the British luxury automaker, said Saturday that it was pausing shipments to the United States in April days after President Donald Trump's auto tariffs went into effect.

The company, which makes luxury cars that include Jaguars, Defenders and Range Rovers, does not have manufacturing facilities in the United States and exports all the cars it sells there. In the last three months of 2024, it shipped 36,000 cars to the United States. Trump administration imposed a tariff of 25% on imported autos as of Thursday.

"The USA is an important market for JLR's luxury brands," the company said in a statement. "As we work to address the new trading environment with business partners, we are executing short-term actions, including a shipment pause in April, as we develop our midto longer-term plans."
