## Resource

The US just declined to renew USMCA (aka new NAFTA), and that's bad news bears for thousands of US firms. Autos make up 18% of trade between the US, Canada, and Mexico, and the supply chain is deeply intertwined across all 3 countries. Tariffs already drove a 625% cost increase on autos and parts since Liberation Day 2025. With average MSRP above $51,000, how much higher prices can go before people stop buying?
