Honda just gave up trying to make this car in the US.
EVs are made of steel, aluminum, and copper. If Honda ran a factory in the US, hired US workers, paid US taxes, and built the cars here? They'd pay 50% tariff on those raw materials.🤦🏿♂️
But if they made cars in Japan, then imported to US? 15%.
🙂🙃
Honda is struggling to compete anyway. Why would they make that more difficult for themselves by building the cars in the US?
How are these policies "bringing manufacturing jobs back to the US?"
And that's before you even get into labor shortages created by racist immigration policies.
