US EditionGroup warns Trump's auto tariffs could cost American buyers, hurt Detroit
- A group named Advancing American Freedom warned on Monday that President Trump's 25% auto tariffs could raise costs for vehicle owners and impact Detroit's auto industry.
- The warning followed Trump's recent lower-tariff trade deal with the UK, which critics say prioritizes the UK over North American partners despite lower industry integration with the UK.
- The Center for Automotive Research's April report shows the tariffs could increase costs by more than $42 billion and threaten up to 165,000 jobs, about 20% of auto manufacturing employment.
- Matt Blunt, who leads the American Automotive Policy Council, highlighted findings from the Center for Automotive Research showing that a 25% tariff would greatly increase costs for the automotive sector.
- The group said continuing the tariffs could disrupt the industry and urged investments in cheaper energy, efficient raw materials, right-to-work laws, and lower taxes instead of tariff chaos.

The hidden costs of Trump's 'madman' approach to tariffs
Is the trade war launched by Donald Trump the act of a madman or a mad genius? To the extent Trump’s tariffs are a “negotiating strategy,” as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has claimed, are critics missing that they are simply part of the “art of the deal” that will enable America to gain coercive leverage over other states? According to the madman theory of international politics, it is possible Trump’s gambit has a strategic logic. However, …
WARNING China’s Electric Vehicles Are Going To Bankrupt Detroit
