  • Auto experts sound alarm bells over Trump's tariffs, likening it to the "cubanization" of cars and a pandemic-style disruption for the industry.

The article from MSN discusses the potential negative impacts of former President Donald Trump's proposed tariffs on the automotive industry and the broader economy. Trump has suggested imposing a 10% tariff on all imported goods and a 50% tariff specifically on cars made in Mexico by Chinese manufacturers. These tariffs could significantly increase the cost of vehicles, particularly affecting electric vehicles (EVs) which often rely on parts from China. The article highlights that such measures could lead to higher prices for consumers, disrupt supply chains, and potentially trigger a trade war, which could dampen economic growth. It also notes that these policies could undo the benefits of recent trade agreements like the USMCA, and might lead to retaliatory tariffs from other countries, further complicating international trade relations. The overall tone suggests a warning about the economic fallout from these protectionist policies.
