the Japanese automaker which already produces “one of the most American-made cars”
So which is it? Looks to me like Julia Limitone is a fake journalist trying to make Lentz and Trump are fighting.
And some hack at the Fox News web site is putting this as a top story.
There’s no such thing as a 100% American-made car.
These globalist sellouts admit what they've supported all along.
Mr. Lentz, Toyota has fallen so far behind in quality, that your new Yaris economy sedans have to be manufactured by Mazda!
that there is no such thing as an 100 percent USA car, I agree
but there are some cars which are at least 80 percent USA
such as.. engine and body and transmission (and computer stuff) USA
then they can source some smaller parts from foreign makers, ok on mirrors and seat belts and hood ornaments and gas caps
I am flexible, I just want to keep USA’s manufacturing base intact, plus jobs of course
we need the least-invasive policies that will preserve the core of America’s maufacturing capability
(and remember, when war arrives, we need to have these plants for war material production!)
At least my Camry was built in KY.
Same with Boeing, at least the 787. The wings are made by Mitsubishi in Japan and shipped to Seattle, as are many other parts from all over the world. Seattle is where it’s all put together.
Mr. Lentz………….all my life I’ve built apartments, homes, office buildings and shopping centers and along that path I’ve used hundreds of “sub Contractors”...….duuh!!
So do you.
This doesn’t mean we don’t make (or lose) money. In the case of Japan Automakers....they make billions off the American consumer!
This is a tired old worn out insulting argument. Please find another.
I just want the majority of the profit and higher salaried workers to be U.S. Others can make the cheap, labor intensive parts. It is all about value added.
Then why is there a United Autoworkers’ union?
Thanks to technology theft and globalism.
We defend, help and strengthen our allies and trading partners and they shaft us in return. China especially. A communist country profiting madly via their government owned industrial corporations using slave labor and our technology and dominating our own consumer markets while they're pouring their billions of US profits into building their military. Remember what happened when we finally had to cutoff Japan when they got too big for their britches in the late 40's? Yeah, and we went way out of our way to defend China back then, too. As the world turns.
The coming Asian war is going to be a real doozy. Hmmmm... and Germany rearming, too? And Russia saber rattling? How soon they forget.
I wanted to buy all American. Then I realized the autoworker’s unions support Obama and Hillary.
Not to worry, though. Between W.’s nation-building and Barack, I no longer have any decent money. I used to contribute pretty good taxes, too, on my income.
Democrats, not happy the USA wasn’t totally-destroyed under Barack have embarked on a 2-year ridiculous war against the only recent President trying to save their sorry behinds.
I don’t like them very much. There, I said that nicely.
Even Harley Davidson motorcycles are made with foreign parts.
My biggest fear is not having import tariffs. More tariffs and higher please.
Closed factories and unemployment are real difficulties too.
If it weren’t for an American …… there would be no Car.
Let me guess, Shep must be the hack...wouldn’t surprise me.
“So which is it?”
Good point...if the Camry is mostly American (but thankfully made without UAW thugs), then the car won’t be much affected by tariffs. So what’s the big deal?
