Fed's tariffs - are they or will they affect cost?

Tariff on steel, any impact on U.S. buyers? Needless to say exports to China which have been impacted by Trumps tariffs have sharply decreased for not only BMW but others like Ford and Honda.

Apparently 90% of the steel used is local but it's "steel" affected steel prices.

If BMW is affected, they'll pass it on as price hikes. What I'm seeing the most is interest rate hikes. Missing the days of 0.00128 MFs.
