My name is Thomas Koval.
I am the CEO of Legera Technologies.
I live in Rochester, Michigan, not far from Detroit, the center of automotive industry.
Thomas's company makes parts for vehicles,
things like the shelves inside Amazon vans
and those spare tire holders at the back of Jeeps and Ford Broncos.
How long have you worked in the automotive industry?
I've actually worked in the automotive industry my entire life, since I was 16 years old.
I started working in factories in Germany and I'm originally from Sweden.
I'm a big fan of Detroit and I'm a big fan of the auto industry.
How much of your production is in the U.S. and how much is outside.
Of the U.S. all our production is in the U.S. however,
we do have material coming in from other countries.
We have material coming from Mexico.
As of today, those materials will be subject to a new 25% tariff tariffs.
25% on Canada and 25% on Mexico.
And that'll start.
So they're going to have to have a tariff.
So what they have to do is build their car plants, frankly,
and other things in the United States, in which case they have.
