Notable quotes

“I think that the prospect of trying to dismantle this incredibly integrated supply base that we've developed between the US and Canada, 60 years of free trade, right? Since 1964 when the auto pact was put in place, we've had free trade. So like that border, it's just irrelevant. It's about where's the capacity? Where's the capability? What's closer?”

“The top priority is the maintenance of this USMCA agreement. Our trilateral free trade inside North America is too critical to maintain. Our industries are so integrated, whether it's on the automotive side... Trying to disassemble that is very difficult and very costly. So I think that top priority, let's get that agreement solidified. If there's concerns on the part of the U.S. with aspects of that agreement, let's”

“To try and sort of rip that apart would be very destructive. And it's not entirely clear that the end game would be a positive one because if we all decide we're going to build our own vehicles and all the parts vehicles in our own countries, the cost of games in the U.S., in Mexico and Canada would be enormous and the required investment would be enormous with really no payback because you're not going to be buildin”

“We are winning work from distressed suppliers. In fact, we won about 180 million dollars worth of work from distressed suppliers over the last 6 to 9 months and are continuing to quote, frankly, hundreds of millions of dollars of work here in North America. But I would say it's strong in Europe as well.”
