Trump thinks implementing a 25% tariff on foreign cars before November will help Republicans keep the House and the Senate.
"Raising the price of foreign cars would be the latest in a series of aggressive trade moves by Trump, who is betting that his supporters will be more focused on the protection of local jobs than on the increased costs for consumers, or the potential loss of jobs in U.S. factories that make parts for foreign cars."
"But before he can impose the penalties under U.S. law, Trump must first get the Commerce Department to declare vehicles like Toyotas and Audis a security threat."
The weird thing is that most Republicans are pro free trade. So this is a complex thing to navigate succesfully.
Not anymore. Republicans will do whatever Trump tells them to do. Republicans have complete control and they aren't going to give that up for anything. If that means Toyotas and Hondas become luxury cars, so be it.

Tariffs apply to imports from foreign countries, not to anything manufactured on U.S. soil.

You are correct. However, this blows some peoples arguments that Canada is taking advantage of Nafta because many of their steel mills are owned by foreign companies.

By that logic, democrats should support trump on trying to improve trade deficits.
