And what about the parts that are imported? If the price of cars goes up, sales go down, and production will be cut. Cut production and jobs will be cut.

Car parts imported from foreign countries would pay the usual tariff at the border when they enter the country I assume unless Trump is planning to raise the tariff on foreign auto parts as well.

If Trump puts a tariff on foreign cars, other countries would retaliate of course. What U.S. exports they would target is unknown at this point.

So Trump ios going to have China, Japan, the EU, Mexico, Canada and the rest of the world which accounts for 95% of the worlds population putting massive tariffs on US goods and services and boycotting them.

Great strategy Trump - that should help US industry.

China fights back against Trump, imposes tariffs on $50 billion worth of U.S. goods | Financial Post
How trump thinks his tariffs are good for any one boggles the mind, this guy is totally mad and will destroy America due to his bungling incompetence.

I agree, but most people seem to think it is only the other guy.

If Trump had a D next to his name instead of an R, the Republicans would be blasting the tariffs, and the Democrats would be praising them.

Hilarious. I wonder if that idiot knows how many Toyotas are made in the U.S.? Are they a threat to security, too?

Toyota ( Camry?) is the most US made car when you get down to parts.

65 billion deficit is a security threat... sorry, if you are too blind to see that... and you cannot separate Toyota from ALL the other steel/aluminum users out there... if they don't IMPORT their steel/aluminum products (made in the US) then they have NOTHING to worry about the tariffs... idiots...
