Ohio lawmakers say auto tariffs could bring back jobs

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced new 25% tariffs on automobile imports, targeting foreign-made cars to encourage domestic production, with the tariffs set to take effect on assembled vehicles on April 3 and parts on May 3.
The tariffs are intended to incentivize automakers to produce more cars domestically, as the White House hopes to spur auto companies to produce more cars domestically, despite many parts used in American cars being sourced from other countries.
The announcement has garnered mixed reactions, with the United Auto Workers union calling it a "victory" and a major step in the right direction, while a German auto lobby group labeled it a "disastrous signal" for free trade.
UAW President Shawn Fain stated that the tariffs mark "the beginning of the end of a thirty-plus year 'free trade' disaster" and that the Trump administration has made history with today's actions, while Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney called it an "attack" and said, "This will hurt us."
While some, like Senator Bernie Moreno, laud the tariffs as a way to bring jobs back to states like Ohio and stimulate manufacturing, others express concern that the tariffs could drive up car prices and harm the economy, potentially increasing car prices by thousands of dollars per vehicle.
