If German car manufacturers will have to decide whether they rather sell to the US or to China and the rest of the world, that decision will not even take 5 minutes.
BMW Spartanburg exports 30% of their production to China - if they need to, they will move this out of the country. Currently they employ 8800 people in an area where there's not much else around.
And they will not be the only one, there is not one single car produced in the US that is made from 100% american parts.
So good luck with that.
BTW - why it is never mentioned that the US has a 25% tariff specifically for light trucks like the F150 etc? Don't want any competition here?

Cause as Vendzilla always says: pickup trucks are important for Americans!

Light trucks manufactured in Mexico and Canada, such as the Ram series of trucks manufactured in Saltillo, Mexico and Canadian built Chevrolet, GMC, and Ford truck models, are not subject to the chicken tax under the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Cancel NAFTA and your precious trucks will be 25% more expensive.
