Trump Promises Tax Breaks for US-Made Vehicles at North Carolina Rally

Washington, DC: Donald Trump, at a rally in Greensboro, North Carolina, reiterated his pledge to offer tax breaks exclusively for purchasing US-made vehicles. He emphasized that the benefit, which would allow car buyers to deduct loan interest on their federal taxes, would only apply to cars manufactured in the United States, aiming to boost domestic car sales and support US automakers. “I don’t want it to benefit other countries. I want it to benefit us,” Trump declared, criticizing car production in nations like China and Japan.

Trump’s push for American manufacturing comes as he competes in swing states ahead of the election, leading narrowly in the RealClearPolitics average of polls. While the United Auto Workers endorsed his Democratic rival, Kamala Harris, Trump has gained support from union members in key states like Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.

In addition to tax breaks, Trump also proposed tariffs on vehicles produced abroad, which experts warn could increase household costs. As early voting ramps up, Trump’s focus remains on states like North Carolina, still recovering from Hurricane Helene. Emergency measures have been implemented for affected voters, ensuring they can cast their ballots despite the storm’s impact.
