Maria Bartiromo Fumes Over Car Dealer Exposing Trump Tariff Fallout On Her Show
HuffPost
The Fox Business host immediately jumped to the president's defense.
Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo had a somewhat heated reaction after a Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, car dealer talked on her show about the direct, “dramatic” and negative impact that President Donald Trump’s new 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico have had on his own business, and will have on the wider auto industry in general.
“I sold an order for a customer. $80,000 truck. It’s $100,000 now, so he’s not gonna buy the truck. It’s gonna sit on my lot […] and nobody’s gonna buy the truck because it just had a $20,000 price increase,” David Kelleher, the owner of David Auto, told reporter Jeff Flock in a live segment during Bartiromo’s “Mornings With Maria” show on Tuesday.
Building in the U.S. “is great” but “we can’t build a $4 billion plant overnight” in the U.S. he told Flock, to explain why such vehicles and their components are made throughout North America and Mexico, with parts often crossing borders multiple times.
The effect on the industry is “pretty radical,” the dealer added.
