Trump ties car loan tax break to US-made vehicles
Trump limits tax break to cars made in the United States
Former President Donald Trump revealed that his proposal to make interest on car loans fully tax deductible will be restricted to vehicles made in the United States.
Speaking at a rally on Tuesday in Greensboro, N.C., Trump expressed his intention to ensure the benefit remains within the country. “I don’t want it to benefit other countries,” he stated. “I want it to benefit us.”
The Republican nominee emphasised, “So it’s deductibility of interest is great, but only if the car is manufactured in the United States.” He questioned the audience, “Is that a great idea?” Trump further argued, “Why would we give tax benefits if they manufacture the car in China or Japan, or lots of other places that took our business over the years?”
