He continued saying: “If you don’t do it, you will probably have to come to the United States, because if you do your car in the United States, there is no tariff.”
The 25% import tax to car manufacturers was briefly implemented but then stopped At the beginning of March, after the pleas of the main car manufacturers in North America such as Ford, General Motors and Stellantis.
