Won't automakers be moving their production lines aboard as result ? There are companies that moved production abroad to reduce costs or/and not have to care about working conditions. Just saying.

Thanks to the chicken tax, they'll have to keep some manufacturing in the USA. Maybe this will be what finally kills it.

Ain't the chicken tax already being evaded by Ford making trucks in Turkey ?

They kinda already did, the big automakers fighting unions are arguably what caused Detroit's current situation. I wonder if they can outsource even more or if they're stuck for some reason.
