Wherever it is made!

PS. Tariffs work both ways.
Ask US farmers how well they work!
Except farms, mostly owned by large corporations not mom & pop legacy farmers, were bailed out at the tune of... twice as much as the auto manufacturers.

The biggest difference between the two?

Auto companies mostly paid back, with interest, their bailouts/loans.

Farms are under no similar requirements...so those BILLIONS are simply gone forever.

Yeah, shooting oneself in the foot...can be expensive.
