Trump: Steel tariffs have been a game-changer

AI Overview
Steel tariffs have increased the production costs of American-made cars by raising the price of raw materials, with estimates suggesting added costs of $500 to over $3,000 per vehicle due to metal tariffs alone. These costs are generally passed on to consumers through higher sticker prices, with some analyses suggesting price increases for U.S.-assembled vehicles ranging from $2,500 to $5,000.

Higher Manufacturing Costs: Tariffs on steel and aluminum significantly increase the cost of materials for automakers, even for vehicles assembled in the U.S..
Passed on to Consumers: Automakers often pass these higher input costs to consumers, resulting in higher sticker prices for new vehicles.
Broad Impact on Vehicles: Beyond just raw steel, tariffs on imported parts have further increased production costs, with some estimates showing a $3,000 increase in manufacturing costs from, for example, Canadian and Mexican tariffs combined with other foreign-made part tariffs.
Market Impact: The tariffs have contributed to a, rise in vehicle prices and a decrease in the availability of affordable cars.
Effect on Parts: Tariffs also increase the price of imported auto parts, which drives up the cost of vehicle repairs.

Apparently Canada has redirected the sale of it's product to other markets. Maybe that's why the orange turd is making so much stink.

Canada has redirected aluminum and steel sales away from the U.S. by boosting exports to European markets and increasing domestic consumption through "Buy Canadian" policies. Following 25% U.S. tariffs, producers shifted focus, utilizing established European partnerships and, in some cases, reducing output.

Key Redirection Strategies:
European Diversification: Due to its maritime access, Canada has diverted significant aluminum shipments to Europe to secure better market prices, notes The Logic.
Domestic Focus: The government is pushing to increase the use of Canadian-made materials for domestic projects.
Policy Support: New measures include strengthening trade remedies against foreign dumping and utilizing tariff rate quotas on imports, as outlined on the Canada.ca website.
Supply Chain Adjustment: Some firms have reduced their reliance on the U.S. market, focusing instead on internal, domestic demand for steel and aluminum.

Is Sweden the 51st?
The rejection rate of Canada for US is 90%.
We have a few white supremacist compounds mostly in Alberta.
I wouldn't be surprised if all your friends are inbreeding there in order to decrease that overwhelming rate of rejection of everything that is US.
Maybe you are pulling your claims out of your ass as usual.

That's right.
scumminess is a trait that runs in Trump's family lineage.

I just found out something that will fill fernazi with glee and pride:

Concealed Heritage: During and after World War II, Trump’s father, Fred Trump, often told people he was of Swedish ancestry rather than German, a claim Donald Trump repeated in his 1987 book, The Art of the Deal, before later embracing his German roots.
