So they already have a foothold here.
And under President Trump, he's been trying to push it away, which is actually good for supply chains here in the U.S.
It's not necessarily so good for the car manufacturers because they want to keep the costs down.
And the other thing with the Chinese cars is there's no unions.
So when they're building cars, their costs are dramatically less.
And that's why getting parts and pieces and components from other countries and bringing them here can be a problem because it literally impacts our economy.
Well, for a while, Canada was actually on board.
They had 100% tariff on all Chinese cars, just like we do here in the U.S.
Recently, I guess it's more political and a little gamesmanship.
Canada is going to let 49,000 cars into the U.S., which also opens up some interesting things because those cars won't be allowed into the U.S.,
So you could buy them in Canada, but you can't own them here in the U.S.
And that also goes through with Mexico.
They're selling Chinese cars there today.
You can drive them across just as a guest and visiting, but you can't own them here in the U.S.
You can't register them within the states.
So what President Trump has done is left the tariff in place.
And so if you want to build cars here in North America, great.
