During a speech at the Detroit Economic Club on Thursday, former President Donald Trump promised to make interest on car loans fully tax deductible.
According to The Hill, the former president announced plans to propose a policy that would make car loan interest fully tax deductible. This would aim to boost domestic auto production and lower the cost of car ownership for American families.
His plan also includes targeting countries that compete with U.S. car manufacturers, leveraging both tariffs and tax incentives to strengthen the national industry.

“This will stimulate massive domestic auto production and make car ownership dramatically more affordable for millions and millions of working American families. This is a phenomenal thing,” Trump said.
During his address, Trump critiqued Detroit’s economic status and described the city as a “developing area more than most places in China,” The Hill reported. Trump argued that his policies would significantly boost growth, restore the automotive industry’s prominence, and reduce the financial burden of car ownership for American families.

The Hill stated that Trump’s proposal aligns with his broader tax reform agenda, which includes eliminating taxes on various types of income such as overtime, tipped wages, and Social Security benefits. Additionally, he plans to invoke the six-year renegotiation clause of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, originally signed in 2020, to further protect American manufacturing jobs from foreign competition.
Trump previously threatened to impose a 200% tariff on John Deere products if the company moves its manufacturing to Mexico. During his address, he criticized China’s economic policies and outlined his strategy against Vice President Kamala Harris, advocating for tariffs and increased energy production to reduce costs and bolster local industries.
