During a rally in Dayton, Ohio, on Sunday, former President Donald Trump sent a message to Chinese President Xi Jinping, raising threats on tariffs.
“Those big monster car manufacturing plants you are building in Mexico right now and you think you are going to get that—nnot hire Americans and you’re going to sell the car to us, no.”
“We are going to put a 100% tariff on every car that comes across the lot,” warned Trump.
The Republican nominee signals concern as automobile manufacturing businesses choose Mexico to create their factories.
Before his speech on March 11, the former President had already made an earlier statement expressing his intent to impose a 50 percent tariff on all cars that China is constructing in Mexico and transporting to sell in the United States.
