Part 4/9:
Ford and GM have established a considerable manufacturing footprint in Mexico and Canada, making them particularly vulnerable to the proposed tariffs. In the event such measures are enacted, it would not only jeopardize their profitability but could also provide a competitive advantage to foreign manufacturers from South Korea, Japan, and Europe, who would be able to import their vehicles into the U.S. without facing similar tariffs. This would compound the difficulties for American automakers, potentially leading to a significant decline in their market share.
