“Tariffs on imported autos and auto parts will have a tremendous impact on the entire U.S. auto industry. Our member companies, who operate 31 manufacturing facilities across the United States, have spent the last forty years building the highly-integrated supply chains that power North American auto manufacturing. It is impossible to rebuild those supply chains in a matter of weeks, especially with the added financial burden of tariffs. While we share the President’s goal of bringing more manufacturing to the United States, we must do so in a way that protects American manufacturing jobs, supports suppliers, provides affordable options for consumers, and allows the industry to remain competitive.”
