Former President Donald Trump has announced a plan to impose a 200% tariff on Chinese-made vehicles produced in Mexico, aiming to make them unsellable in the U.S. and to drive manufacturing back to America. Speaking in Flint, Michigan, Trump criticized Chinese automakers and warned that their expansion into Mexico threatens U.S. auto industry jobs. He also claimed falsely that large Chinese-owned auto plants are being built in Mexico. Trump argued that his tariffs would compel automakers to establish factories in the U.S., despite current data showing an increase in auto industry employment under President Biden. Additionally, Trump warned that if Vice President Kamala Harris wins the 2024 election, the U.S. auto industry could vanish within years due to the shift towards electric vehicle production in China.
