During a rally in Vandalia, Ohio, former President Donald Trump issued a warning that losing the 2024 election could lead to dire consequences for the US auto industry. Trump vowed to impose a 100% tariff on cars made outside the US if he is not re-elected, emphasizing that domestic auto manufacturing would suffer if he is not in office.
Trump's remarks centered on trade, tariffs, and the auto industry, as he sought to appeal to autoworkers and voters in Rust Belt states. He also mentioned plans to place tariffs on cars made in Chinese plants in Mexico.
