He noted that while the tariffs were not implemented during Trump's presidency, the mere threat of them influenced companies to consider moving production to the U.S. to avoid future costs. Lutnick also mentioned that such a policy could be revisited if Trump were to win the 2024 presidential election, potentially affecting global automotive supply chains.
