I don’t care.
The last four vehicles I’ve bought were built in the United States with a majority of domestic sourced components. Two Toyotas, one Subaru and a GMC Acadia. It matters to many of us, don’t fool yourselves. No consumer asked them to source in Mexico, and no consumer is going to cry about it if they don’t. There was no price reduction when they did it, and if they want to remain competitive there will be no price increase when it comes back.
Fair Trade will cost me a few bucks more? I’m OK with that. Consider it like buying an (economic) War Bond.
Let the market work. Look at the stock market now.
We’ve had 8 years of command economy. It’s easy to prop up abysmal failure when you double the US national debt.

Isn’t it interesting how all these left wing newspapers all of the sudden worry about cost to consumer for something President Trump wants to do. Where were they when Obamacare was coming on board and it was pretty well known that costs would go up and not down. That’s right, they ignored that and were cheerleaders for Obamacare.
Suddenly Don Lee and the LA SLIMES and the rest of the FAKE NEWS pretends to care about the consumer.
Oh too bad
All that for less than $20,000? Never owned a car, but is that possible?
Consumer price hikes - short term or long term - are not the only considerations (unless you a disingenuous communist or neocon):
Regaining national sovereignty is of paramount importance; destroying the crony capitalism is concomitant with that.
Even if this could be proven to result, I would still be for it: NAFTA is globalism, and globalism is anti-American.
BS.
That consumer is far better off having a job, and his community is far better off having that car plant and all the businesses it takes to support it.
Small price to be done with Chinese slave and prison labor the US has to compete with.
