Michigan governor warns Trump tariffs on Mexico, Canada could harm US auto sector

^{Published on 2025-01-15 11:41:31 - Reuters}

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer warned on Wednesday that potential 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada suggested by President-elect Donald Trump could harm the U.S. auto sector, increase vehicle prices and benefit China.

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has expressed concerns over former President Donald Trump's proposed tariffs on vehicles and parts imported from Mexico and Canada, warning that such measures could significantly harm the U.S. auto industry. In a letter to U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai, Whitmer highlighted that these tariffs would increase costs for automakers, potentially leading to higher prices for consumers, job losses, and a reduction in the competitiveness of the U.S. auto sector. She emphasized the integrated nature of the North American automotive supply chain, noting that tariffs could disrupt this integration, negatively impacting Michigan's economy, which is heavily reliant on the automotive industry. The letter comes in response to Trump's campaign promise to impose a 10% tariff on all imports if re-elected, a policy that could lead to retaliatory measures from trade partners.
