Video Description

President Trump says cars made in the U.S. will face “absolutely no tariff,” but it’s not so simple. No car is built from 100% U.S. parts—not even the U.S.-built Ford F-150 pickup truck. Major components of the car are from Mexico, Canada and South Korea, which could all be a part of the auto tariffs. WSJ takes a look inside a Ford F-150 to better understand Trump’s slew of new tariffs and why automakers are warning it could backfire.
