Trump Proposes 200% Tariffs on Chinese Cars Built in Mexico

At a Michigan town hall, Trump claims Harris's presidency would collapse the U.S. auto industry, despite evidence to the contrary.

Trump announced a plan to impose 200% tariffs on cars produced by Chinese factories in Mexico, claiming it would make them unsellable in the U.S.
He warned that the U.S. auto industry would vanish within two to three years if Vice President Kamala Harris wins the presidency, a claim unsupported by current industry data.
Auto industry employment has increased by 13.6% since President Biden took office, contradicting Trump's assertions of industry decline.
Trump defended his broader use of tariffs, despite warnings from economists that such measures could raise costs for U.S. consumers.
The former president repeated false claims about Chinese automakers building large factories in Mexico, which industry analysts have debunked.
