China’s exports jumped 12.4% in March from a year earlier in a last-minute flurry of activity as companies rushed to beat increases in U.S. tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump, and analysts forecast sharp setbacks ahead, according to an Associated Press report.

Imports fell 4.3% to $211.3 billion in March, the customs administration reported, far exceeded by exports worth $313.9 billion, leaving a trade surplus of $102.6 billion.

“But shipments are set to drop back over the coming months and quarters,” Julian Evans-Pritchard of Capital Economics said in a report. “We think it could be years before Chinese exports regain current levels.”

China’s trade surplus surged to a record $992.2 billion in 2024 and its exports climbed 5.4%, helping to make up for sluggish growth at home as the country slowly recovers from a crisis in its property market and lingering impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Monday suggested that he might temporarily exempt the auto industry from tariffs he previously imposed on the sector, to give carmakers time to adjust their supply chains, according to an Associated Press report.

“I’m looking at something to help some of the car companies with it,” Trump told reporters gathered in the Oval Office. The Republican president said automakers needed time to relocate production from Canada, Mexico and other places, “And they need a little bit of time because they’re going to make them here, but they need a little bit of time. So I’m talking about things like that.”

Matt Blunt, president of American Automotive Policy Council, an association representing Ford, General Motors and Stellantis, said the group shared Trump’s goals of increased domestic production.

“There is increasing awareness that broad tariffs on parts could undermine our shared goal of building a thriving and growing American auto industry, and that many of these supply chain transitions will take time,” Blunt said.

FAIRFAX, Va. – Go RVing, the marketing, research and promotions arm of the RV Industry Association (RVIA) continues to provide additional insights into today’s RV owners with the latest special report focused on COVID Buyers and other First-Time owners, an extension of the latest Go RVing RV Owner Demographic Profile, according to a report on the RVIA’s News and Insights web page.

• This report analyzes first-time RV buyers, with a spotlight on those who entered the market during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2022).
• These “COVID Buyers” have demonstrated a strong commitment to the RV lifestyle, even after the pandemic’s end. 

COVID Buyers, like other first-time owners, were motivated to purchase an RV by past camping experiences (36%) and the desire for a change in travel methods (36%). 

The typical COVID Buyer is between 18 and 54 years old (73%), with an average annual income of over $75,000 (49%), and 56% are employed full-time. 

COVID Buyers predominantly favor conventional travel trailers (49%). A large majority (69%) bought their RVs new, and most purchases were made in person (93%). 

The pandemic appears to have influenced COVID Buyers’ reliance on digital resources for information, with a higher percentage using social media, YouTube, and online blogs for research. 

• Additionally, some COVID Buyers were motivated by the ability to work remotely while traveling and comfortably social distance. 

Overall, the report indicates that COVID Buyers are an engaged and satisfied segment of the RV market, demonstrating strong brand loyalty and a continued interest in the RV lifestyle. With many of these owners now in the typical repurchase timeframe, now is an ideal time for RV manufacturers and dealers to reach these owners.
