US President Donald Trump says he will temporarily spare carmakers from a new 25% import tax imposed on Canada and Mexico .

News of the relief helped to boost US shares, which closed higher after two days of declines.

The exemption is for cars made in North America that comply with the continent's existing free trade agreement.

Canada also responded with its own retaliatory import levies on US goods.
