Democrats Sound Alarm Over Mass Layoffs Linked to Trump's Tariffs
Briefly

Stellantis announced temporary layoffs of 900 workers at various U.S. plants due to economic conditions created by President Trump's tariffs on imported automobiles. The layoffs reflect a broader trend, as Congressman Ro Khanna highlights over 4,000 factory workers losing jobs recently, exacerbated by the chaos caused by Trump's policies. Notably, Cleveland-Cliffs also laid off 1,200 workers amid similar tariff impacts. Rep. Khanna's call for an industrialization policy to revitalize U.S. manufacturing underscores the ongoing vulnerability of American workers in the current economic landscape.
This week, 19 factories had mass layoffs, 15 closed, and 4,134 factory workers across America lost their jobs. Cleveland-Cliffs laid off 1,200 workers in Michigan and Minnesota.
Chaos. You, know? A lot of questions. You've got a lot of people who worked there a long time that are potentially losing their jobs.
