I think so too. It’s a bluff, I certainly hope so. US is in no position to make enemies and isolate ourselves today. People have little desire to purchase domestic cars let alone they aren’t that cheap either. I get that he wants to stop feds from printing money because of the owed deep financial deficiencies we are in, but that money ain’t coming back to our taxpayers pockets while things get more and more unaffordable. We can’t afford to do that
However, even if it was a leverage to negotiate some deal, I would still expect car prices to increase a bit. There are many other components play their parts like raw materials, labor costs, logistics costs, when they go up, car prices will too regardless of tariff or not.
