Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross has made his recommendations to President Donald Trump about whether foreign car imports constitute a “national security risk” to the U.S.
It’s not yet clear what’s in the recommendations—submitted Sunday, hours before a 270-day deadline expired—as they have not been made public. However, many expect the Commerce Department to back up the assertion that car and car-part imports constitute a threat. This would allow the Trump administration to lash out with new tariffs.
