WASHINGTON, March 31 (Reuters) - Two Michigan business
groups urged President Donald Trump to halt plans to impose
sweeping 25% tariffs on imported vehicles and parts, saying it
would lead to dramatic price hikes, supply chain disruptions and
pain in the auto-heavy state.
"The increased costs would cause significant disruption
throughout the supply chain and, perhaps most importantly, lead
to significant price increases to the cost to American consumers
for vehicles," said the Detroit Regional Chamber of Commerce and
MichAuto, an automotive and mobility association.
"In Michigan, where one in five jobs is automotive-related,
the pain felt by working-class citizens will be profound."
