The auto industry is undergoing a whole new period of disruption, driven by the politics and agenda of President Trump.

Just in the first few weeks of his administration, the auto industry is looking at evaporation of electric vehicle supports, huge new tariffs on all goods coming into the U.S. from the U.S.’s two biggest trading partners, Canada and Mexico, plus tariffs on aluminum and steel imports and more.

Senior Editor David Kiley and WardsAuto Contributor John McElroy discuss the disruption and talk about Ford CEO Jim Farley’s outspoken criticism of the new policy directions, as well as his struggle to curb Ford’s quality and warranty costs.
