Donald Trump advocates for more American-made vehicles, but the concept is increasingly irrelevant. The North American auto industry relies on a complex supply chain involving multiple countries. Experts warn that tariffs on imports would disrupt these efficient processes, negatively impacting American manufacturers more than expected. Automotive parts are sourced and processed from various locations, illustrating a deeply integrated industry critical for maintaining competitive pricing. The interconnectedness of production means that enforcing a strict 'Made in America' policy would jeopardize overall efficiency and affordability in the market.
It's the same Trump nonsense that is not backed by paperwork that is going to hurt [the] American auto industry worse than it will hurt Canada.
Any vehicle made in North America is manufactured via a complex web of interconnected supply chains that use raw materials and parts suppliers that span the entire continent.
To break the process down even further, everything starts as raw material in one country, is shaped into a part in another, then moved again to be assembled into a broader component.
Experts say tariffs would effectively undo those advantages almost immediately.
