NEW: Rogers-Backed Tariffs Could Squeeze Michigan, Spike US Factory Costs by 4.5%

Government and Politics

New analysis shows Mike Rogers’ support for Trump’s trade war threatens Michigan’s manufacturing jobs

LANSING - In case you missed it, a new report reveals that President Trump’s chaotic tariffs - which Mike Rogers has praised, saying Trump has done a “great job” - could increase US factory costs by up to 4.5% and threaten Michigan’s manufacturing jobs.

Trump’s tariff policies create “a cash squeeze for a lot of these firms” that “could lead to stagnation of wages, if not layoffs and closures of plants,” according to reporting from Mlive.

Despite more than 1 in 5 Michigan jobs being concentrated in manufacturing, construction, mining and oil drilling - sectors highly vulnerable to Trump’s tariffs - Rogers continues to champion trade policies that put Michigan workers at risk, including a bogus trade deal with Japan that the UAW is “deeply angered by” and the American Automotive Policy Council representing GM, Ford and Stellantis called “a bad deal for US industry and US auto workers.”

MLive/Associated Press: Trump’s tariffs could squeeze Michigan, US factories and boost costs by 4.5%, new analysis finds

As President Donald Trump prepares to announce new tariff increases, the costs of his policies are starting to come into focus for a domestic manufacturing sector that depends on global supply chains, with a new analysis suggesting factory costs could increase by roughly 2% to 4.5%.
The Washington Center for Equitable Growth analysis shows how Trump’s devotion to tariffs carries potential economic and political costs for his agenda. In the swing states of Michigan and Wisconsin, more than 1 in 5 jobs are in the critical sectors of manufacturing, construction, mining and oil drilling and maintenance that have high exposures to his import taxes.
“We’re getting squeezed from all sides,’’ said Justin Johnson, president of Jordan Manufacturing Co. in Belding, Michigan, northeast of Grand Rapids. His grandfather founded the company in 1949.
The company, which makes parts used by Amazon warehouses, auto companies and aerospace firms, has seen the price of a key raw material - steel coil - rise 5% to 10% this year.
Trump has imposed 50% tariffs on imported steel and aluminum. Jordan Manufacturing doesn’t buy foreign steel. But by crippling foreign competition, Trump’s tariffs have allowed domestic U.S. steelmakers to hike prices.
