Veuer: The US Car Market Is Crashing and Tariffs Might Be the Final Nail

American car manufacturers are facing an unprecedented downturn that is the worst in the last ten years. Sales have dropped dramatically after the post-pandemic buying in 2022 and 2023.

Industry analysts at Reuters warn this isn’t a typical cyclical dip but a structural shift that could reshape the entire automotive landscape. Dealership confidence has hit multi-year lows as inventory piles up and consumer demand evaporates across all vehicle segments.

In the end we might be saying, “Thank you, King Donald, for saving our automotive industry by destroying it.”

Moneywise: ‘This is a tragedy’: Mark Carney warns the 80-year period of US economic leadership ‘is over’ — says America is no longer the anchor of global trade. Here’s how to survive the ‘new reality’

Trump’s “Liberation Day” may be the first step in America’s exit from its role as the world’s economic anchor and trusted trade ally. That’s according to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, who didn’t hold back in a press conference shortly after reciprocal tariffs on U.S. autos were announced.

“The system of global trade anchored on the United States … is over,” Carney said during the recent announcement. “The 80-year period when the United States embraced the mantle of global economic leadership … is over. While this is a tragedy, it is also the new reality.”

According to the BBC, world leaders, including EU Commission Chief Ursula von der Leyen and Japan’s Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, say the ongoing trade war will have “dire” consequences for millions of people across the world and undermine the global trading system.

The U.S. isn’t just the largest economy in the world, it’s also the largest consumer of goods and services.
