Navigating Trump's Tariffs; Impacts the American Auto Industry?

What if the global trade landscape is on the verge of a seismic shift, driven by the very cars we drive? Join us as we engage with Jack Nerad, host of "America on the Road," to dissect the potential ripple effects of President Donald Trump's proposed reciprocal tariffs. This could be a strategic maneuver to recalibrate trade imbalances or a precursor to a trade war with far-reaching consequences for car prices, manufacturing jobs, and even U.S. inflation. As we explore these geopolitical strategies, we also consider the implications for car buyers, especially when countries like Canada and Mexico are significant players in the American automotive scene.

Fasten your seatbelts as we navigate through the current state and future direction of the American auto industry. From the delicate dance automakers perform with unionized labor to the growing influence of foreign brands like Toyota and Honda producing vehicles on U.S. soil, we're unpacking it all. Listen to our insights on the internal combustion versus electric vehicle debate, spotlighting Stellantis' unique approach. We even pause to appreciate key moments in automotive history, from the pioneering efforts of Jeffrey and Duryea to the captivating tale of the 2014 sinkhole at the National Corvette Museum. Whether you're a car enthusiast or just curious about the forces shaping our roads, this episode offers a ride through intriguing twists and turns.
