Stellantis May Rethink Mexico Manufacturing Strategy

Trump means business and the auto industry better get on board. I believe as a successful business man with a huge mandate from Americans, including the UAW rank and file, Trump will negotiate with manufacturers to close and shift overseas operations in a reasonable timeframe. Seems to me those under utilized and shuttered factories in the U.S. will be open and operating in under three years. I wouldn’t bet on the Wagoneer S, the Recon or Cherokee being built anywhere outside the U.S. effective immediately. Belvedere looks good perhaps. As to Mexico, regrettably, your government made some unfortunate decisions on boarder policy. Time to learn there is a reckoning coming and a new sheriff in town. Get rid of the cartels, help too by accepting and placing the returning illegals and maybe we can talk then about non- Chinese product for Latin America. I guess politics matters.

Trump's tariffs have already been declared illegal twice by the courts. When the Supreme Court does this again in December, the stupid nonsense dies and the Orange Monkey can froth at the mouth all he wants.

Hey man, the USA is 37 trillion in debt and counting. The interest on that debt is over 1 trillion a year and growing. If we don't make that payment every year then we default. We cannot continue printing money as has been the status quo while the deficit balloons further out of control. Plus, we are at the dawn of AI and many jobs are going to be eliminated soon. It has actually already begun. We need jobs for Americans and we need the revenue from the tariffs. The tariffs are working, even if modestly to bring some manufacturing back to the USA and provide revenue. The only other alternatives are drastically cutting the budget and reducing benefits to millions of Americans of which most of our elected representatives don't have the guts to do. Or we can raise taxes considerably on all Americans. There is no perfect solution but a solution we must find. The "Orange Monkey" is thinking out of the box and doing what he can to provide a solution. And that is a lot more than his predecessors did which was to spend more. We cannot tax or spend ourselves out of this situation.
Personally, and I've stated this here before, I don't like tariffs. But when other countries don't play fair, I think we need to reassess the situation and act accordingly. I've worked in Canada and they did everything possible to keep me out of the country. They protect Canadian's jobs and that is exactly how we need to be with the USA instead of trying to outsource everyone and everything. I love Canada and have several friends that live there. It's a wonderful and beautiful country so hopefully we can work things out with them. As far as Mexico, it too is a beautiful and resource rich country but we need to get things better worked out with them in several areas. Tariffs can be a good bargaining chip in negotiations. I'd much rather trade with Canada and Mexico than China.
The Supreme Court has not yet ruled on Trump tariffs; the case is currently pending, with oral arguments scheduled for November 5, 2025. The outcome will significantly impact U.S. economic policy and the president's authority to impose tariffs.
Historically, it has always been the POTUS to set economic policy so I expect SCOTUS to uphold that.

I think that post was most likely made by a troll bot, but who knows.
