Ford reports loss as it sees 2025 tariff hit of $2 bn
Ford reported a narrow loss on Wednesday (July 30, 2025) despite surging sales from consumers seeking to beat tariff impacts as the automaker projected a $2 billion full-year earnings hit due to the levies, according to news agency AFP.
The major US automaker pointed to one-time costs related to vehicle recalls and the cancellation of an electric vehicle program as factors behind a second-quarter loss of $36 million, compared to profits of $1.8 billion in the prior year.
But revenues jumped 5.0 percent to $50.2 billion, a record, as the company notched robust sales of popular truck models and reported strong demand for new sport utility models.
The automaker estimated the second-quarter impact from tariffs to be about $800 million, and it projected a full-year gross tariff hit of $3 billion for 2025, although Ford said it was able to offset about $1 billion of the costs.
US President Donald Trump has announced a slew of tariffs on other countries and on key materials like steel, while pursuing trade deals with major partners.
So far, Trump has sealed agreements with Japan and the European Union that set imports of finished cars at 15 percent. That levy is below the current 25 percent tariff on autos imported from Mexico and Canada. Ford is also affected by Trump's tariffs on imported auto parts.

High tariffs or not, self-sufficiency in critical areas must be a national imperative It is possible for a people to be self-sufficient. The Sentinelese in the Andamans, for example. But such living is extremely limiting. That's why all great nations have pursued trade, although not as a dogma in the modern way. Ancient Romans were big traders. Millennia later, Mussolini declared Italy would manage alone, only to concede as oil imports rose: 'Let us not delude ourselves about autarky.' As he continues lighting tariff fires well into the first year of his second term, Trump has not declared autarky or self-sufficiency as his economic goal, but his actions are tending in that direction. He wants US to make everything from chips to ships; buy little and sell a lot. The problem with America's protectionist turn is that it affects the global order. When the largest economy, and market, raises barriers for sellers, the whole free trade edifice is at risk. India has been especially stung by Trump's tariffs. In a speech last week, Modi flagged the resultant uncertainty and urged Indians to buy swadeshi. It does not signal India's retreat into its pre-91 walled garden, but a pragmatic pause. Globalisation may pick up pace again when Trump leaves office in Jan '29, or as our top column today suggests, it may not as the world shifts 'from open to managed trade'. India will have to rethink strategy in that case. The ease of buying everything from computer chips to warplanes – Trump's been pushing the F-35 at India – in the 21st century can lull nations into a false sense of security. But China and America's recent actions are a wake-up call. India's a laggard in manufacturing semiconductors and fighter planes – the air force is currently depleted – and needs to catch up in the field of drones now. Then there are so many high-tech articles of civilian use that we don't make. Almost all specialised medical equipment is imported and contributes to the high cost of treatment. So, setting up an industrial base to manufacture advanced equipment – along with a research base to develop them – should be a national priority. If low tariffs return, it will make India an export powerhouse. If they don't, we won't be vulnerable at least. In an essay he wrote in 1933, Keynes, who grew up believing in free trade, said self-sufficiency may be a worthwhile luxury for countries that want it and can afford it. 'Let goods be homespun whenever it is reasonably and conveniently possible…' It's good advice.

‘Far from dead': Economy that Trump buried ‘outpaces' US
1 2 Ludhiana: Indian business leaders have pushed back firmly against US President Donald Trump's recent remarks describing the Indian and Russian economies as "dead", calling the claim baseless and out of step with the country's economic trajectory. The resilient economy politely declines to attend its own funeral, and the critic must answer: "If we're dead, who's eating all the global market share?" Industrialists from Ludhiana, one of the country's leading manufacturing hubs, said on Sunday that while US tariff hikes may temporarily affect some sectors, the Indian economy remains vibrant, resilient, and driven by robust domestic demand. "India can never be a dead economy — our population and internal demand alone ensure that," said Ashpreet Singh Sahni, managing director of Sehaj Solutions and former chairman of the Confederation of Indian Industry's Ludhiana chapter. "Yes, tariffs may slow us down for a year or two, but we'll bounce back stronger." Sahni, who was in the US when the new tariff regime was announced, said American manufacturers were also feeling the pinch. "There's nervousness on both sides. US companies look actively for alternatives to China, and India is high on their list. I believe the US will have to reconsider these tariffs, eventually." Upkar Singh Ahuja, president of the Chamber of Industrial and Commercial Undertakings (CICU), echoed the sentiment, arguing that India's global reputation was rising. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ask A Pro: "I'm 70 with $1.4M in IRAs. Should I convert $120K/Year to a Roth?" SmartAsset Undo "During my visit to Europe, I saw firsthand the interest in Indian goods. Yes, IT and pharma may face short-term pressure, but they're already exploring new, tariff-friendly markets." Ahuja warned that Washington's protectionist stance could have unintended consequences. "Such tariffs are inflationary. They may backfire on the US economy itself. In the long term, it's not sustainable." Pankaj Sharma, president of the Association of Trade and Industrial Undertakings (ATIU), said India should seize the moment. "This is a time to turn adversity into opportunity. The tariffs aren't India-specific — they affect many countries. Our govt should ramp up support for manufacturing and help Indian firms enter new global markets." He called for stronger policy support, including incentives to help exporters tap into emerging economies and underserved regions. "The Indian economy is not just surviving — it's adapting. And that's the hallmark of a living, breathing market." The remarks come as global economic tensions continue to rise, with supply chains still reeling from pandemic aftershocks and shifting geopolitical alignments. Indian industry, local leaders say, is determined not to be left behind. Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Friendship Day wishes , messages and quotes !

India financing Russia's war, says Trump aide
AP photo A top aide to Donald Trump on Sunday accused India of effectively financing Russia's war in Ukraine by purchasing oil from Moscow, after the United States president escalated pressure on New Delhi to stop buying Russian oil. "What he (Trump) said very clearly is that it is not acceptable for India to continue financing this war by purchasing the oil from Russia," said Stephen Miller, deputy chief of staff at the White House and one of Trump's most influential aides. Miller's criticism was some of the strongest yet by the Trump administration about one of the US's major partners in the Indo-Pacific. "People will be shocked to learn that India is basically tied with China in purchasing Russian oil. That's an astonishing fact," Miller said on Fox News' 'Sunday Morning Futures'. The Indian embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Indian govt sources told Reuters on Saturday that New Delhi would keep purchasing oil from Moscow despite US threats. A 25% tariff on Indian products went into effect on Friday as a result of its purchase of military equipment and energy from Russia. Trump has also threatened 100% tariffs on US imports from countries that buy Russian oil unless Moscow reaches a major peace deal with Ukraine. Miller tempered his criticism by noting Trump's relationship with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, describing it as "tremendous. " reuters 'What he (Donald Trump) said very clearly is that it is not acceptable for India to continue financing this war by purchasing the oil from Russia,' said Stephen Miller, deputy chief of staff at the White House.
