will have to hire lots of people for this job??



Scharf said the tariffs will result in “over $100 billion of new annual revenue” to the U.S. Specifics about the proclamation were not immediately clear. Most vehicles are assembled from thousands of parts that may originate from dozens of different countries. Trump said there will be “very strong policing” on which parts of a car are hit with tariffs.
