Steel is extremely cheap compared to the car.
A metric ton of hrc steel costs like $800 - that's $400 added value to the end product.
A car costs like $30k. 15% is like $4.5k of the added value. The argument doesn't stand
What's really the problem is that the supply chain might cross the border a few times. That's what was the intent for the tarifs.
Stop thinking about the orange clown's government as the dumb villains from done kind of comedy. They are our political opponents

Idk how much they pay. The price is significantly lower than the price of the car by 2 orders of magnitude
Well the F150 is an aluminum frame so that's 50% tariffs from Canada. Not sure about the rest
