Former President Trump falsely claimed Chinese automakers are building factories in Mexico and promised a 200% tariff on vehicles produced there during a Flint, Michigan campaign event.

During a campaign event in Flint, Michigan, former President Donald Trump falsely claimed that Chinese automakers are building large factories in Mexico and promised a 200% tariff on vehicles produced there. He asserted that if Vice President Kamala Harris is elected, the U.S. auto industry will collapse. However, auto employment has risen 13.6% since President Biden took office, contradicting Trump's assertions. Analysts confirm no large Chinese factories are under construction in Mexico.
