Aston Martin Slashes US Exports Over Trade Tensions
British luxury automaker Aston Martin has taken a hit from U.S. trade policy, deciding to scale back its exports to the States.
CEO Adrian Hallmark made the announcement on Wednesday, stating that the company is keeping a close eye on U.S. trade policy developments and currently restricting exports to the United States whilst drawing upon inventory at American dealerships.
Faced with 25% tariffs on imported vehicles and auto parts introduced by President Donald Trump, the global automotive industry has been tossed around. Although the U.S. government slightly eased some of these measures on Tuesday, uncertainty remains rampant. Aston Martin nonetheless remains optimistic about its annual targets.

Additional Points:
- Aston Martin's Q1 Adjusted Loss: The revised pre-tax loss in the first quarter was less than anticipated, thanks to reduced costs and a rise in average prices. From January to March, the loss stood at £79.8 million, a decline from £110.5 million in the same period last year. Analysts had foreseen an average loss of £89 million.
- Struggling Automotive Industry: The 25% tariffs have affected other automakers too, with Jaguar Land Rover putting a temporary stop to U.S. exports in April.
- Future of Aston Martin: Aston Martin is focusing on cost-cutting measures and is banking on the upcoming Valhalla hybrid supercar to boost profitability. The U.S. market, which accounts for more than a third of its global revenue, remains crucial to the company's success.
