(Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures were slightly higher on Tuesday, as investors assessed the possibility of tariff relief for the auto sector after President Donald Trump floated the idea of more exemptions.
Trump on Monday suggested potential exemptions for the 25% tariffs imposed on foreign imports of autos and auto parts, saying he was "looking at something to help some of the car companies."
Ford edged 0.6% higher, while General Motors slipped 1.1% after a brokerage downgrade.
