Even some Trump advisers who have backed other Trump tariffs are wary this time. U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer—who has frequently sided with Trump’s more protectionist advisers—has privately raised concerns about imposing the auto tariffs, according to two senior administration officials.

Unfortunately, Trump has until May to make a decision, and it’s not out of the realm of possibility that he could get riled up by something he read on Twitter, ignore his staff, and go nuclear. (As Politico notes, Peter Navarro, the economic adviser __Jared Kushner found on Amazon, is in favor of the auto tariffs, and has “other officials concerned that Trump might ignore the advice of his other aides and order the tariffs.”) Strangely, parties that would be majorly affected in the event the administration does choose to use the dubious “national security” argument to justify the punitive measures, aren’t thrilled about being left in the dark. “This is a major policy decision that would have a significant impact on an industry that employs directly and indirectly 10 million Americans. If in fact this report is a secret plan to tax hard-working Americans, we ought to know about it. It’s as simple as that,” John Bozzella, the president and C.E.O. of Global Automakers Group and a former Chrysler executive, told Politico. Jennifer Thomas, vice president of federal government affairs at the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, estimated that a 25 percent tariff would raise the price of foreign cars anywhere from $2,000 to $7,000.
