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!)

There isn't a car anywhere that is made with 100% domestic content.

Here's the interesting thing: There probably never WAS such a car. At a bare minimum, U.S. auto manufacturers have been using foreign rubber for the tires on their cars ever since the rubber tire was invented.

For a while i drove a semi.. parts from all kinds of American assembly workers unions were picked up from mexico and Canada. Some small parts are made here, but that was ten years ago.
I never dealt with any of the new plants in South Carolina, so let’s hope he is wrong.
