Trump hit Volkswagen with 25 percent tariffs, and now 50,000 German VW workers will lose their jobs.

@randahl Questionable
It was a mere 8% or so of their business, and it was mostly conducted out of Mexico. Not really the big factor here.

The main losses VW suffered were from being unable to build cars at a price that was competitive. They failed to compete on price, and they failed to manage quality to compete as a premium brand.
