It would shut down the auto industry, if they completely closed the border. Even his renegotiated USMCA trade deal calls for 75% of the auto manufacturing to be in North America, meaning Mexico, Canada, and the United States. That ramps up over the years, reaching the 75% target in 2023. That’s because you cannot change manufacturing and tooling overnight. It’s a bluff and a very stupid one.
Wrong. It would not shut down the auto industry completely. You are correct you can't change it overnight ... but we have assembly plants that are idle that could again be utilized. Jobs ... jobs ... jobs.
Besides that, I don't see shutting down the border as long term, only long enough to curtail the situation till we can make improvements. I also still see at the end of all this a strong possibility that of a NAU (North American Union) being created between Mexico, US and Canada.
Thank you for bringing up the USMCA (I didn't even know that was the new label) ... do you have a link, please? I've been looking for detailed information.
