Stateside

Tariffs, layoffs, and Michigan manufacturers


Listen Later

President Donald Trump wants Michigan automobile manufacturers to move entire supply chains to the U.S. And he’s put steep tariffs on the automotive industry in an attempt to spur that change. But many of these manufacturers are taking a wait-and-see approach because of the administration's constantly changing policies, and the cost associated with moving production.

After President Donald Trump’s 25% automotive import tariffs went into effect on April 3, a report from Reuters estimated auto sales could decline by two million.
