   What was #UAW thinking backing this plan?

   #Trump’s 25% #tariffs on imported vehicles, which went into effect last week, are already sending tremors through the #AutoIndustry, prompting companies to stop shipping #cars to the #US, shut down factories in #Canada & #Mexico & lay off workers in #Michigan & other states.

     #JaguarLandRover, based in Britain, said it would temporarily stop exporting its luxury cars to the US. #Stellantis idled factories in #Canada & #Mexico that make Chrysler & Jeep vehicles & laid off 900 US #workers who supplied those factories w/engines & other parts.

     #Audi, the luxury division of #Volkswagen, also paused exports of cars to the #US from #Europe, telling dealers to sell whatever they still had on their lots.
