Jaguar Land Rover resumes shipments to the U.S. after tariff pause

Driving the news: Jaguar Land Rover is back to shipping its vehicles to the US after briefly pressing pause because of President Trump's 25% tariffs, the Times of London reports.
For context: After nearly a month-long break, the first batch of JLR vehicles headed for American shores left Britain on Wednesday, following the tariffs that kicked in on April 3.
Yes, but the luxury carmaker still has to navigate those 25% tariffs on its imported vehicles, which they've acknowledged are still very much in place.
Why it matters: The U.S. is a vital market for JLR's luxury brands, accounting for a significant portion of its global sales. And mitigating the risks of auto tariffs will be essential for maintaining profitability.
What we're watching: JLR says they're working on some immediate fixes while developing their longer-term game plan, with more details coming when they share their full-year results later in May.
