Former President Donald Trump has courted voters in Michigan with false and no-evidence claims about Chinese auto plants in Mexico and auto industry growth under his administration.

There is only one , small Chinese car manufacturing plant in Mexico right now, experts say.

There are few cars exported to the U.S. from China , and the actions and statements by President Joe Biden ’s administration indicate they both would like to keep it that way.

Trump said he threatened 200% tariffs only for Chinese cars coming from Mexico .

The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement , which he negotiated, doesn't allow for a 200% tariff only on Chinese cars.

Experts say the tariffs would kill the U.S. auto industry if they were imposed.

China has been giving incentives for consumers and for the rest of their country to build electric vehicles.

The U.S. is about 10 years behind, and we’re trying to catch up, an expert says.

Trump has promised to bring auto jobs, or the industry, back to the levels they were before the COVID-19 pandemic.
