It’s complicated: Trump and the auto industry

American voters last year delivered one of the most surprising results in US political history by electing Republican Donald Trump as the country’s 45^th president. Trump’s shocking win, combined with his unpredictable style of campaigning and now governing, has created great uncertainty in the US and abroad. The arrival of the Trump administration clearly promises to usher in a very different legislative and regulatory environment from that of the Obama years, one with potentially huge implications for the automotive industry.
