U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to impose a 25 per cent tariff on imported vehicles beginning April 2 .

AutoForecast Solution's Sam Fiorani says the North American industry would quickly see layoffs, plant closures, higher vehicle costs and less selection on both sides of the border.

Trump was unclear on whether any auto tariff on Canada and Mexico would also be stacked on top of the general tariff he’s threatening to impose March 4 .

The industry has spent the last 100 years and billions of dollars building an integrated supply and production chain that allows it to offer the most choice at the most affordable cost to consumers.

“Any investment today in a new plant will take three to four years to be ready, and things could change by then,” he said.
