Tariffs are taxes, plain and simple. Tennessee's automotive industry is so important to me because in 1978, when I was running for governor, Tennessee hardly had any auto jobs. Now, 136,000 Tennesseans one third of our state's manufacturing jobs work in the automotive industry at plants and suppliers in 88 of our 95 counties. One of the reasons Tennessee has been able to have so much success building cars and SUVs is because the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was fundamentally a zero tarifftrade agreement. ###	1	2026-03-30T12:14:52Z	2026-03-30T12:14:52Z
