Who Benefits If Tariffs Create Auto Jobs? Nonunion States
One of the big goals of the US's trade war, to hear Donald Trump tell it, is to bring back manufacturing jobs. If tariffs on cars from abroad have the desired effect of opening more factories in the US, it might not be a big win for unions like the United Auto Workers. Detroit bureau chief David Welch explains. Plus: What happens when Canadians stop visiting a town in Washington that's dependent on them, and what it's like running a freight business now.

To hear some autoworkers tell it, President Donald Trump's trade war is much-needed medicine to eradicate unfair deals, wipe away trade deficits and bring back towns in the heartland that long ago lost their steel mills, auto plants and machine shops. It's a return to the days when most cars and appliances were made with pride by American hands.

Donald Trump Calls Green Tax Credits in 'Big Beautiful Bill' 'Scam'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. President Donald Trump criticized his own federal budget legislation in a post on Truth Social Saturday. "I HATE 'GREEN TAX CREDITS' IN THE GREAT, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL," the president said, adding "They are largely a giant SCAM." The bill, which includes $4.9 trillion package packed with tax breaks, budget cuts and new Medicaid work requirements, made it past the House last month in a close 215-214 vote, with two Republicans breaking ranks to vote "no," Newsweek previously reported. The next hurdle, opposition and infighting in the Senate. Now, Trump has stated even he has problems with outlined initiatives. "I would much prefer that this money be used somewhere else, including reductions. 'Anywhere' would be preferable!" Trump exclaimed. "Windmills, and the rest of this "JUNK," are the most expensive and inefficient energy in the world, is destroying the beauty of the environment, and is 10 times more costly than any other energy," the President explained, adding "None of it works without massive government subsidy (energy should NOT NEED SUBSIDY!). Also, it is almost exclusively made in China!!! It is time to break away, finally, from this craziness!!!" This is a breaking news story. Updates to come.
