## Resource

The auto industry is under pressure as Chinese manufacturers surge ahead with faster development and global expansion, while U.S. EV adoption slows and car prices climb. Alabama’s auto leaders, alongside federal officials, are pushing for stability in the US-Mexico-Canada trade deal—critical since Canada and Mexico are top buyers—and are warning that unpredictable tariffs are costing the industry $35 billion annually. With China’s rapid rise and potential new U.S. restrictions looming, automakers are pleading for predictability to protect jobs and investments, aiming to keep the trade agreement stable to avoid disrupting Alabama’s vital auto economy.
