Trump's tariffs are a 'debacle of epic proportions' for the auto industry - and consumers too, analyst says
Briefly

Trump's recently implemented 25% tariffs on imported vehicles are causing widespread disruption in the automotive industry, with major automakers like Ford, Nissan, and Stellantis scrambling to adapt. Analysts have dubbed the situation a "debacle of epic proportions," suggesting the tariffs could lead to a 15-20% drop in demand for new cars by 2025. The tariffs have negatively impacted stock prices of foreign automakers and forced companies to scale back production in North America, illustrating the complex consequences of trade policy on the auto sector.
"The tariffs are a debacle of epic proportions for the auto industry and US consumers as the concept of a US-made car with all US parts is a fairy tale fictional narrative."
"We believe the price impacts from this head-scratching tariff slate could result in demand destruction of 15%-20% in 2025 for new auto purchases alone based on our estimates."
