“Hermetically Sealed!” Why This Senator Is Planning to Ban Chinese Cars (And How it Might Save America) | Sen. Bernie Moreno
Today, I'm joined by Sen. Bernie Moreno to discuss his legislative plan to "hermetically seal" the US market from Chinese vehicles to protect national security and dealer valuations.
We dive into the $400 billion cost of the EV transition, the "Common Sense" way to handle FTC pricing compliance, and why the US needs to return to building sub-$25,000 affordable cars.
