Flavio Volpe criticized the new US tariffs

A few days ago, the new US President Donald Trump signed an executive order imposing additional tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China. We didn’t wait long for a reaction, and the first to speak out was the head of the Canadian automotive industry, Flavio Volpe, who criticized Trump.

The BBC used this opportunity to recall Trump’s statements about US-Canadian relations and the automotive industry in particular. Not long ago, Trump said: “We don’t need their cars. I’d rather make cars in Detroit.”

Flavio Volpe said that about 2 million vehicles are produced in Canada annually, of which 1.6 million are exported to the United States. This includes General Motors, Ford, Dodge, and Chrysler.

Volpe believes that the plans set by the new US administration are very ambitious, and for their realization it is necessary to build 25 production plants to meet demand. This takes a long time (10 to 15 years), and Ford and General Motors would probably go bankrupt in the whole process.

“So I have a message for Trump. Grow up,” Volpe said.

This Apocalypse Hellfire 6×6 costs $157,000

About a decade ago, the first six-wheel drive conversions appeared on the market, which over time attracted the attention of many. One such example based on the Jeep Gladiator was made by Apocalypse Manufacturing, and is now for sale.

Apocalypse Manufacturing is known for creating some of the craziest cars designed to dominate any terrain with explosive power. This car is covered in the livery of the American flag and is dedicated to the new President of the United States Donald Trump with the inscription “Trump 2024” on the left side.

To turn the Jeep Gladiator into an extreme car capable of all terrains, engineers added a third axle and special rims with 40-inch tires. The front part has new lights and a radiator grille, while the front and rear quarter panels have been retained. A few changes have also been made inside, such as the addition of bright blue thread, a specially sewn emblem on the steering wheel (a mushroom cloud).

This Hellfire 6×6 is powered by a 3.0-L V6 turbo diesel engine mated to an automatic transmission. When it comes to price, this car costs $157,000.
