Gretchen Whitmer: “When we build a car in Michigan, it goes over that border…”

“I always tell people, I love Canadians. They're the in laws you like, you know, and so it's created so much unnecessary anger, but also costs on people and on manufacturing. When we build a car in Michigan, it goes over that border eight, nine times. We pay a tariff every time.
