Washington, DC, March 01, 2018 -- Statement by John Bozzella, President and CEO, Global Automakers on behalf of Here for America
"The Administration's decision to impose substantial steel and aluminum tariffs will harm the U.S. auto industry. Combined with the risky renegotiations of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the Korea-US Free Trade Agreement (KORUS), we could end up trading away the benefits of tax and regulatory reform, competitive prices, access to export markets, and good American jobs. This approach was not successful for the United States in 2002, when 200,000 jobs were lost, and it will not work today."
