1 week ago | mprnews.org | Camila Domonoske

President Donald Trump promised that during his presidency gasoline prices would drop and U.S. oil production would boom. One of those things is happening. Prices at the pump have indeed gone down, largely because the price of crude oil has dropped by nearly 25 percent since the start of January.

Tariffs threaten to push auto insurance rates even higher

4 weeks ago | nhpr.org | Camila Domonoske

A slew of new tariffs, including some specific to vehicles, have many Americans reassessing their plans to buy a car — moving them up to take advantage of today's tariff-free pricing, or reevaluating whether they want a new car at all, given the economic uncertainty. President Trump has recently floated the idea of a temporary pause on the 25% tax on imported cars, as a reprieve for automakers. But even if he goes ahead with that idea, tariffs will still affect the auto industry.
