This is very obviously going to be a protection racket, where Trump can at the stroke of a pen destroy or save your business depending on how compliant you are.
Exempting USMCA-compliant auto imports from tariffs would lessen the impact of Trump's trade war, sparing ~$122B in imports (~$170B if parts are exempted)
But it just highlights the ridiculousness of this whole endeavor—why exempt cars but not oil, tomatoes, computers, etc etc?

In case you needed a clear example of the level of care they’re (not) taking in slashing government programs, I present to you the “accidental”cancellation of Ebola prevention efforts. Yes, the virus with the average fatality rate of 50%. I think both sides of the aisle can agree that Ebola is bad.
