President-elect Donald J. Trump’s risk to establish 25 percent tariffs on products from Mexico and Canada sent shivers on Tuesday through the car industry, which depends heavily on both countries for parts and production. The idea of taxes “is a two-alarm fire for the car industry, ” said Patrick Anderson, deputy executive of Anderson Economic Group, a consulting firm in Michigan. “There is probably not a solitary assembly plant in Michigan, Ohio, Illinois and Texas that would not soon be affected by a 25 cent tax. ”The list of popular vehicles made in Mexico or Canada is longer. It includes Ram cabs made by Stellantis in Saltillo, Mexico, and Chrysler minivans built in Windsor, Ontario. General Motors makes Chevrolet Silverado cabs and electronic versions of Equinox and Blazer S. U. V. s in Mexico, where Ford Motor also makes its Maverick pick. All of those cars and many others may be significantly more expensive if Mr. Trump, who won Michigan with vows to maintain vehicle work, followed through on his danger, economists said. Those higher car prices may have a substantial effect on overall inflation. And higher car prices may possibly result to lower income and layoffs at car factories. “ In his first term, President Trump instituted tariffs against China that created jobs, spurred investment and resulted in no inflation, ” Karoline Leavitt, spokeswoman for the Trump-Vance Transition, said in an email. Once in office, she said, he may work to bring jobs back to the United States by “raising true income, lowering fees, cutting laws and unshackling British strength. ”The possibility of destructive tariffs hits the market at a perilous time. Almost all automakers are struggling with sagging customer need, a growing desire for hybrids and electric cars, and the development of Chinese automakers like BYD that are pushing into markets previously dominated by Chinese, American and European companies.
