2025 will be remembered as the year tariffs took center stage in U.S. trade policy. Today, AAM President Scott Paul and AAM Director of Media Relations, Cat Adams, recap 2025 and walk us through the Trump administration’s trade actions from day one through a pivotal Supreme Court showdown. They examine sweeping new tariffs, market and political backlash, and competing arguments over costs versus strategic benefits.

From everyone at AAM, thanks for listening all year long. We wish you a happy holiday season and a strong, successful New Year. See you in 2026!
