Audio Interview: U.S. Steel and Aluminum Tariffs: Effects on the Global Automotive Industry

Ron Hesse speaks with Lisa Reisman
In the 15-minute Audio Interview, Ms. Reisman discusses these questions:

  • Can you give an overview of the new steel and aluminum tariffs and how they are different / similar to Section 232?
  • Can you walk us through how this is likely going to impact the automotive industry in particular?
  • It looks like Trump backpedaled on the Canada and Mexico tariffs. I’ve also heard that reciprocal tariffs might also be implemented. What does that look like, or rather what does that mean for the automotive industry?
  • What are you recommending companies do in response to these tariffs?
  • What is the long-game here with tariffs and how is it likely to change the automotive industry in the US?
