Source summary
The White House reports that U.S. new-vehicle sales rose 2.4% in 2025 — the strongest industry performance since 2019 — and says automakers from Ford to Hyundai posted notably strong results. The administration credits this outcome to President Trump’s trade agenda, tax changes (including an auto loan interest deduction), major automaker investments in U.S. production, and regulatory rollbacks such as resetting fuel economy (CAFE) standards and eliminating the stop-start requirement.
