Monarch Discusses the Impacts of Trump’s Tariffs in Newsweek and Nexstar Articles

Lovely Talks to NewsNation About Trump’s One-Month Tariff Exemption for US Automakers
“What we can say is that one month is not enough time to rearrange production networks which have served North America extremely well.

“I think what he's putting out now, at this stage, could be seen as an attempt to nudge the behavior of both Mexico and Canada regarding the border and to engage in what is essentially financial saber rattling. But also, I wouldn't be surprised to see him follow through on this because he is a believer in tariffs,” says Grant Reeher, professor of political science.
