Summary

Trump warned automakers not to raise prices after announcing a 25% tariff on imported vehicles starting April 3, claiming the tariffs would be “great” and benefit U.S. manufacturing.

Industry leaders, including GM, Ford, and Stellantis CEOs, expressed concerns about inevitable price increases, with experts warning tariffs could add thousands to car costs.

Auto suppliers stated that absorbing tariffs is impossible, and dealers fear affordability challenges for consumers.

While the United Auto Workers union support the move as a job creator, trade groups predict higher prices and fewer manufacturing jobs.

    It was a case where they really let him put all the conservative tax policies in place and do everything he wanted and it went terribly. Rachel Maddow covered it pretty thoroughly.

      I understand what you are saying. But i believe that it is not really representative of what is happening or needs to happen to the usa as a whole.

      Brownback just wasnt strong enough of a virus to build immunity to this sickness.

      He may have been an slight inoculation for some people, but the immune system as a whole went on and then forgot about the weak virus.

      what is happening now is a bigger bug. Lets just hope the fever doesnt kill us.
