Whatâs the point of levying 145% tariff just to lower it to 30% on preliminary discussion and probably ending up around 10% like UK. Is there any realistic alternative outside of higher inflation and lower growth? Is 10-15% tariffs enough to bring manufacturing to the US?

This one would likely have the largest impact on the auto industry, since carmakers have passed along the credit to lease customers in the form of a price cut. Over the past two years, leasing has represented as much as 80% of EV sales in a given month, according to data from industry research-firm Edmunds.
