WASHINGTON -- U.S. President Donald Trump says the Big Three auto makers will get a one-month exemption from tariffs for any vehicles coming through the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement.

Those reciprocal tariffs were set to go into effect on April 2, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says, but Stellantis, Ford and General Motors asked for a one-month exemption when they spoke to Trump today.

More coming.
