Jaguar Land Rover has restarted shipments of vehicles to the United States after pausing them in the face of President Donald Trump's tariffs, London's Times newspaper reported Saturday.

The first shipments of JLR vehicles bound for the U.S. for almost a month left Britain on Wednesday, the report said.

JLR, which is owned by India's Tata Motors, did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

It said in April it would pause shipments of its Britain-made cars to the U.S. for a month as it considered how to mitigate the cost of Trump's 25% tariff on imported cars and light trucks, which came into effect April 3.

Trump said Thursday he will soften the blow of his auto tariffs through an executive order mixing credits with relief from other levies on parts and materials.

British luxury carmaker Aston Martin's CEO Adrian Hallmark said Wednesday it would split the costs from U.S. tariffs between the company and its customers, and sell down its U.S. inventory while limiting shipments there.

Britain's car industry employs 200,000 people directly. The United States is the second-biggest importer of British-made cars after the European Union, with a near 20% share, data from industry body SMMT shows.
