Trump's Tariffs Under Fire as Businesses Say They're Hurting Michigan Economy
President Donald Trump visited Michigan on Monday to tout his economic policies, which he claims have revived the auto industry and American manufacturing. However, many businesses in the state disagree, arguing that sweeping tariffs imposed by Trump have hurt their bottom line.
The Republican president stopped at a General Motors facility in the Detroit suburb of Milford, where he watched vehicles compete in drag races and looked at other vehicles on display before delivering a speech.
Trump's tariffs have affected many businesses in Michigan, which relies heavily on trade with Canada. The state is home to several major automakers, including GM, Ford, and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), all of which rely on parts imported from Canada.
