Trump tariffs posing a problem for automobile stocks?

Moreover, the threat of Donald Trump’s tariffs on China is a big factor for the automobile industry stocks, as there are many parts that are manufactured in China, which when shipped to the US, will face increased prices due to the imposed tariffs, leading to increased prices of vehicles.
