Trump's tariffs, whether implemented or not, have already hurt the U.S. auto industry

The article from MarketWatch discusses how President Trump's proposed tariffs on imported vehicles, even if not fully implemented, have already had a detrimental impact on the U.S. auto industry. The mere threat of these tariffs has led to a decrease in consumer confidence, causing potential car buyers to delay purchases due to uncertainty over future price increases. This hesitation has resulted in lower sales for both domestic and foreign automakers operating in the U.S. Additionally, the article highlights that the auto industry, which is highly integrated globally, faces disruptions in supply chains and increased costs due to the potential for retaliatory tariffs from other countries. The uncertainty has also affected investment decisions, with companies holding off on new projects or expansions in the U.S. due to the unpredictable trade environment. Overall, the looming tariffs have introduced volatility and reduced economic activity in an industry critical to the U.S. economy.
