Auto Hearing Showcases Opposition to Tariffs
Written by Sandy Williams
Section 232 auto tariffs were the subject of a Commerce Department public hearing on Thursday, July 19. The hearings were cut from two days to one after Commerce determined the 45 requests to testify could be accommodated in a single day. All but one of the 45 witnesses was expected to testify against the tariffs.
Participants included the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, the American Automotive Policy Council and the Motor and Equipment Manufacturers Association, foreign industry groups, and officials from the European Union, Mexico, Canada, Turkey, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, South Africa and Taiwan.
