U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens Concerned Trump Might Sell Out U.S. Auto Industry During China Trip

May 13, 2026

Michigan U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens on Wednesday expressed concerns that President Donald Trump might sell out the U.S. auto industry during his high-stakes trip to China

 

Stevens, who introduced legislation last year banning Chinese car imports into the U.S., explained she fears China, an ally of Iran, will help America resolve the messy war in exchange for an agreement allowing the U.S. to import low-cost Chinese cars.
 

 

She said the import of Chinese cars "would upend our auto industry and jobs and lead to increased costs for Michiganders and Americans all over."
