April 9: MichAuto Statement on Tariff Pause

“Unfortunately, the 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs announced today does not extend to the 25% tariffs on assembled vehicles and components implemented on April 3 or other sector-based tariffs, like those on steel and aluminum. Michigan’s signature industry and the supply chains and employees that sustain it will continue to endure the uncertainty and disruption of these fluctuating trade policies.

MichAuto continues to advocate for protecting the automotive industry’s complex international supply chain framework from harmful fragmentation that weakens its global competitiveness. The prompt renegotiation of the USMCA and maintenance of the key trade partnerships it enables are better tools for strengthening and growing the North American manufacturing economy.”

– Glenn Stevens Jr., Executive Director, MichAuto at the Detroit Regional Chamber
