""This will only get worse without a serious shift in national policy," Whitmer said."
""All U.S. automakers are doing great," Trump said."
""America stands more alone than she has in decades," Whitmer said."
""And perhaps no industry has seen more change and been more impacted than our auto industry.""
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer criticized the administration's tariff strategy at the Detroit Auto Show, saying tariffs have hurt American auto manufacturing and benefited Chinese competitors. Whitmer said manufacturing has contracted for months, leading to job losses and production cuts. She emphasized close economic ties with Canada and the cross-border nature of automobile parts production. President Trump defended his tariff strategy in Detroit and visited a Ford plant, asserting that U.S. automakers are doing well. Whitmer has opposed the tariffs for over a year and has maintained a relatively cordial relationship with Trump compared with other potential Democratic leaders.
