President Trump's tariffs have earned him a near-universal rebuke from Democrats, with the notable exception of top lawmakers from Michigan. Why it matters: Trump's 25% tariffs on vehicles and auto parts not produced in the U.

Economist Patrick Anderson says Trump tariffs are like taking "a baseball bat" to auto sales; sees no short-term benefit for Michigan.

President Trump unveiled a new tariff regime on Wednesday that represents a fundamental rethinking of U.S. trade policy on a scale not seen since the post-World War II era.The U.S. will impose 10% across-the-board tariffs on all imports and even higher rates for other nations that the White House considers bad actors on trade.
