For sure, vehicles from China and probably Mexico would be targeted - as they should be.

We DO need to manufacture MUCH more in our domestic production, especially critical pharmaceutical etc.

Our country needs to be completely prepared and focus on OUR country. So many others have taken advantage of us over the years. Especially allowing Corps et al to run amok exporting jobs and enriching themselves despite endangering the country.

Myself, I'll wait and see what happens. The sky is NOT falling. IMO the clouds are opening and the sun will shine brighter.
Every American made car requires parts that are manufactured in other countries to finish their assembly. There is no such thing as a 100% US manufactured car anymore. We simply don’t gave the manufacturer plants here anymore and it takes 5-8 years to build plants and train personnel for them. We are in for a world of hurt as Elon stated “necessary hardships “ ahead.
