Thus, General Motors (GM) that mounts more units than its rivals in Mexico and Canada, will be more affected than Ford or Stellantis, while the company that will suffer least will be Tesla. The company directed by Elon Musk, a narrow collaborator of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, is the most protected because he assembles all the vehicles he sells in North America in the US.
