Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Ford, GM, Chrysler instantly regretting their republican pac contributions as Toyota comes to eat their lunch even harder.
(Toyota assembly and majority sourcing for USDM is done entirely within the US while domestic companies have mostly outsourced to Mexico heavily)
Toyota and Honda(Ohio, baby)
Just got set up.
I hope they both roll strikes because I love em both.
How can I succinctly put it? Hmm..
Those companies will just bribe him into writing in an exemption for them.

My dad’s Tundra was built in Indiana My Camaro was built in Quebec
It will affect Canada a lot more.
Even with 25% tariffs, it will still be cheaper to make in Mexico. And they will no longer have to pay the workers the same as the US, as they do under USMC.
I recently read that the Toyota Crown is assembled in Japan. Has there been any hints of tariffs there?
Correct, that is JP built, along with a cpuple other small name models.... And trump has flat said everything imported is gonna see a minimum 10% tax. seeing as how the Crown made up for <1% of toyota's total sales volume for q3 2024, I doubt there's going to be a huge overall impact to their sales competitiveness vs the Big 3's entire lineup though
The Camry is imported from Japan. And the Rav4 from Canada.
I've never even heard of that model; I could be wrong but I'm having a hard time imagining it makes up a very sizeable chunk of their inventory or sales ledger
Me either. I looked it up and I’ve seen one in town parked at Hobby Lobby. It’s an EV or Hybrid crossover that’s replaced the Avalon And it costs Mercedes money anyway so I don’t see how a tariff will matter to potential customers.
