    And BMW is the US largest exporter of vehicles. Maybe they will take their production elsewhere.

      Why? They produce in the US, they won’t have to pay tariffs AFAIK

      Not sure who this will even affect. Most foreign manufacturers selling in the US build those cars in the US.

        Doesn’t these tariffs include also car pieces / materials imported to the US before being used / integrated into the car?

        Car being composed from thousands of equipments manufactured outside the US, i can’t see how they can totally avoid US tariffs.

          China won’t let them compete with domestics for long. NA continues to be among the two most important markets for European and American manufacturers.
