Auto makers and suppliers are worried about proposals from Trump administration Nafta negotiators that would require that vehicles have 50% U.S. content to qualify for duty-free imports into the U.S. The industry says those changes to Nafta’s so-called rule of origin could raise vehicle prices for U.S. consumers.
