President Trump on Friday said automakers have 12 months to build all of their products, including their parts, in the United States.

Speaking to reporters from the Oval Office alongside Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Trump said "over the next year they've got to have the whole thing built in America. That's what we want."

"We want America to buy American-built cars," he added.

Musk didn't comment on the matter. Trump has used automotive tariffs as part of his larger trade war.
