Discussion on Tariffs, Auto Industry, and Electric Vehicle Charging Stations

Published | Video Starts at 00:13

What is the Department of Transportation doing to help the auto industry in lieu of those tariffs still being imposed on China? So I think we have to look at what's actually the problem in the auto industry. So When we sell American made cars over to Europe, they charge a 10% tariff. However, a European made automobile that comes to the US we charge them 2.5%. Why do we have to pay 7.5% more to sell an American car in Europe than they have to pay here in America? There's fundamental unfairness in the way the trading world works. (00:13–00:31)

CLAIM
