SEOUL — Hyundai Motor revealed on Thursday that it has more than three months of inventory in the U.S., as the South Korean automaker shipped them before U.S. President Donald Trump imposed a 25% tariff on foreign-made cars early this month. 

“We have strategically scheduled shipments through the end of March to optimize our inventory levels of vehicles and parts,” Vice President Lee Seung-jo said in a conference call.
