“Want To Build Cars In US, Not In Canada”: Trump Says Tariffs Pushed Automakers To Shift Production

US President Donald Trump has once again defended his tariff policy, claiming it has forced foreign automakers to shift production to the United States. Citing Canada, Japan and Mexico, Trump said tariffs encouraged companies to build cars in America rather than overseas. He also pointed to duties on Chinese automobiles as evidence of a tougher trade stance. According to Trump, the policy has brought billions of dollars in investment and strengthened domestic manufacturing. The remarks come amid renewed debate over tariffs, their impact on global trade, and whether protectionist policies deliver long-term benefits for the US economy.
