That's an excellent question.
Absolutely, the industry has been opposed to U.S. tariff policy. Just to give you a sense of how damaging it's been, manufacturers in the U.S. have already paid $35 billion U.S. in tariffs. North American auto production has declined by 2%, while production in China was up by 10% last year, and U.S.-manufactured vehicles lost market share in Canada, with a 12% decline in 2025.
U.S. protectionism is doing serious damage to the U.S. industry, and auto manufacturers have been making the case constantly to try to get rid of these tariffs. Obviously we are not there yet, but the objective is to get back to duty-free North American automotive trade.
