WASHINGTON -- The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump hinted Wednesday that it is considering steeper tariffs on imported passenger vehicles, particularly from China, strengthening its protectionist stance in response to General Motors' plans to idle domestic and foreign factories.
If Washington imposed a 25% tariff on cars as it long has with small trucks, "many more cars would be built here" and GM "would not be closing their plants in Ohio, Michigan & Maryland," Trump tweeted.
