A house RESOLUTION

to urge the President of the United States to end 
tariffs that are negatively affecting BMW and other critical industries in this 
State.

Whereas, BMW has 
invested more than $14.8 billion since it came to Spartanburg in 1992. The 
plant is in the midst of a $1.7 billion expansion to assemble electric vehicles 
in Spartanburg, as well as a new high-voltage battery assembly plant in 
Woodruff; and

Whereas, BMW is the 
largest automotive exporter by value from the U.S., according to the U.S. 
Department of Commerce, with a total export value of about $10 billion in 2024. 
And two-thirds of what the company produces has come from the Spartanburg plant 
since 2014; and

Whereas, the company, 
headquartered in Germany, could bleed as much as $1.1 billion this year because 
of tariffs on steel and aluminum, vehicle imports from Mexico and tariffs on 
Chinese electric vehicles implemented by the European Union. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House 
of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, urge 
the President of the United States to end tariffs that are negatively affecting 
BMW and other critical industries in this State.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution 
be presented to the President of the United States.
