These tariffs are like a weird reverse GAP sale. Add and additional 25% to select EV components, cruitical minerals, syringes and ship cranes.

Company doesn't show up tax abatement hearing, gets denied.

What is buried in the story is it is a mine (not a mobile industry) and that they had already started construction in May.
