Someone should tell Trump's policy entourage that there is no such thing as an "American" car. Automakers in Detroit have relied on a multitude of suppliers in our country and overseas for years, manufacturing thousands of parts for "American" cars. Car makers usually have at least 2 sources for each component, ie water-pumps made in Canada and Mexico. The real goal to achieve is multiple supply chains to keep all countries competitive, which also protects against sudden shortages. We had that already, with the exception of microchips, which is now being corrected now with a huge plant being built in Nevada. World trade brings world peace. Getting rid of free trade is like trying to unscramble an egg.--RE
