Hyundai on Thursday announced it has created a task force to deal with President Donald Trump’s tariffs and shifted production of one its best-selling cars to Montgomery.
According to the New York Post, the South Korean automaker said manufacturing of some of its Tucsons will be moved from Mexico to its Montgomery factory, and is considering shifting some production of some American-bound cars from Seoul to other locations.
Hyundai’s tariff task force, launched last month, will try to minimize the impact of tariffs on the company by developing ways to increase local sourcing of auto parts in the United States, according to the outlet.
Trump is currently negotiating with multiple countries on various tariff and trade deals.
