The Trump administration is withholding a report justifying 'shock' auto tariffs
Some Republicans are frustrated that the administration has refused to divulge the report’s details. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, who delivered the report to Trump last month, has ignored multiple requests from Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley to turn over a copy, according to a committee source.
The Commerce Department did brief Senate Finance Committee Republicans on the report’s findings last month, according to two senior GOP aides. But while the department’s briefer strongly suggested that the report contained a national security finding allowing Trump to impose tariffs, and said that it laid out several options for him, the emissary did not disclose the report’s rationale or detail those options.
“Every automaker would be impacted in some way, shape or form. If you just assume that we are declared a national security threat and the president imposes broad, sweeping import tariffs of 25 percent, then you would naturally see the prices of all of these cars increase in a range of $2,000 to $7,000,” said Jennifer Thomas, the vice president of federal government affairs at the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, the leading advocacy group for the auto industry.
