Dingell Statement on One-Month Tariff Exemption for U.S. Automakers Importing from Mexico and Canada

Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI-06) today released the following statement in response to the White House's announcement of a one-month exemption on tariffs for U.S. automakers importing from Mexico and Canada. “This delay is a positive step to give our auto industry more time to talk these issues through and to have important discussions with all stakeholders involved. As I've said, tariffs are a tool in the toolbox, but they must be strategic and support American jobs — not create uncertainty that undercuts our domestic manufacturing. The domestic auto industry currently relies on an integrated North American supply chain and our trade policies need to reflect that. I will continue working with all stakeholders and I want to work with President Trump to onshore these supply chains and ensure these policies strengthen American manufacturing and keep our workforce competitive."
