President Trump is calling on Congress to pass legislation in order to protect the car industry in the United States.
In a series of tweets Wednesday, the president suggested adding a tariff on imported cars as a way to encourage domestic car production.
He said the small truck business in the U.S. has been a favorite for many years due to a 25-percent tariff on foreign trucks.
