Trump announces 25% tariff on auto sector starting April 2
- Thread starter squeezer
- Start date
You don't need intelligence to be a MAGA voter.
If they had any intelligence they wouldn't elect a corrupt, incompetent, rapist to office.
The same thing happened in Trump's first term with the Chinese tariffs, Trump sold tariff exemptions, which is why so many big companies; Apple, Meta, Microsoft, etc... got exemptions. Small and Medium businesses that could not afford the bribe got the shaft.
Exactly, raise US prices .take that profit to cover losses on imported cars, and wait until Trump smashes into a wall face first,.
The objective is to bring the auto jobs back to the US. There is a reason the UAW announced support today.What a joke of a President. He just added $12k to the average car. LMAO, what a clown.

U.S. President Donald Trump has announced he is putting a 25 per cent tariff on all vehicles made outside the country starting April 2.globalnews.ca
When is that going to occur? Overnight? Meanwhile Trump is triggering inflation and going to make it unaffordable for those on lower incomes to own cars!!
Well the UAW upper echelon have a similar reputation to Trump himself!!
That's probably not going to happen because it takes years to build new plants, and the auto companies have said they're not sure they're going to do that

Yep.
A new plant takes nearly 10 years from discussion, decision, conception, construction, to production.
It's not a decision based on a political party.
Meanwhile Canada could end tariffs on China and we could get $20 BYD's that are better cars.

"The average price of a Canadian EV is around $73,000, while the BYD Seagull, produced by Chinese automaker BYD, costs around $13,000 on the domestic market."
13k! I would buy one for me and my 2 kids! I bought a 2018 Mazda for my oldest kid and paid more.
The problem is that if we let them in, many of the 120k jobs in the car industry in Ontario would be gone.
Many of those 120K jobs will be gone regardless if Oakville and Oshawa are left out of the US Market. Stellantis is different, the majority owner is Exor with Blackrock having a minority stake. They could ship production to Benelux.
Although Exor's sports holdings aren't looking very good.

Is that because you were younger than 19 and still lived in your mom's basement?
I wasn't the one using another handle and laughing at my own jokes............so?
The tariff will most probably lead to a shortage of... Toilet paper!
Damn are we back to 2020?
Can you imagine the average American without toilet paper? No you cannot! Neither can I.
