Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : Among them, working with suppliers to increase the amount of parts that are compliant with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, building more battery modules in the U.S., and ramping up production of pickup trucks by roughly 50,000 units on an annualized basis at its Fort Wayne factory.
50% : On Tuesday, Trump signed a new executive order that said U.S. automakers would get credits and partial offsets for assembling vehicles in the U.S. and using parts that are made in America.
39% : The frequent changes to U.S. trade policy in the Trump administration has added to the challenge, leaving businesses uncertain if the tariffs announced by Trump will be changed or scrapped weeks later. GM had delayed its earnings call and refrained from providing a financial forecast when it reported its quarterly results earlier this week, an unusual move likely due to the ongoing uncertainty around the final form of the 25% tariffs on foreign cars and parts that President Trump first announced in March.
