"Ms. Hasenfratz said the costs of the tariffs will be borne by her customers — car makers — who require highly specialized components. It can take 12 to 18 months to source and engineer alternative parts, she said in an interview.

“It would just create an exorbitant amount of cost, and our customers can’t afford to absorb that,” Ms. Hasenfratz said in an interview Saturday. “Consumers certainly aren’t going pay it, so demand will disintegrate. So in my opinion, it wouldn’t be more than a week before we would see vehicle production in North America grind to a halt, and that means millions of people laid off, the majority of which would be in the U.S., and I can’t see how that’s a good thing for America.”"
