How tariffs could impact Alabama's automotive industry

http://abc3340.com/news/local/how-tariffs-could-impact-alabamas-automotive-industry

Alabama Secretary of Commerce Greg Canfield warns Alabama’s booming automotive industry could be at risk.

“We’ve got 57,000 people employed in Alabama producing one million vehicles and we actually sell about, just under $11 billion,” said Canfield. “In 2017, we sold to 88 countries around the globe.”

In June, the Trump administration imposed tariffs on some imported steel and aluminum.

Canfield says that could raise prices.

He's already received the carrot, the Rosneft hundreds of millions, and is afraid of the stick, the miles of tape Vlad has on him showing he's a total traitor to US and Russian tool. Destroying us economically & destroying Europe's security by getting US out of NATO are his 2 top jobs per his master, Pootie.
