On Wednesday, Stew Hansen Hyundai's General Manager, Steven Amos, highlighted that the nearly empty showroom reflects exceptional sales in March. "Probably one of our biggest months in retail for new cars in a long time," Amos said.Amos attributes this success to various buyer programs and a rush among consumers to purchase vehicles before new tariffs took effect."Yeah. We heard it a lot," Amos said. Amos assured that current pricing on cars already on the lot or previously shipped would remain unaffected by the tariffs. Outside the auto industry, broader concerns about tariffs loom. The Trump Administration's plans for additional tariffs have impacted sectors like agriculture and advanced manufacturing, key components of Iowa's economy."We represent more than 150,000 Iowans here in the state and have a combined payroll of approaching $9 billion," said Joe Murphy, president of the Iowa Business Council.Murphy expressed significant concerns about retaliatory tariffs and their potential effects on the state. "That's a huge concern for us. You know what? What do those potential retaliatory tariffs look like for a state like Iowa, where we have heavy agriculture and heavy advanced manufacturing?" Murphy said.Despite these challenges, Murphy stated that Iowa Business Council members continue to address such issues pragmatically. By tackling each policy pronouncement step by step, they have managed to operate strategically and with resilience, emphasizing a forward-thinking approach.Gov. Kim Reynolds say she's working with the Trump administration to ease the short-term impact of the tariffs for Iowans.» Subscribe to 糖心vlog's YouTube page» Download the free 糖心vlog app to get updates on the go: Apple | Google Play
