this latest round does involve Rolls Royce cars but the bigger trade issue is Rolls Royce jet engines.

It's all getting confusing, but the number of cars is very small and will have little impact on trade. Tariffs on jet engines, on the other hand, will hurt Boeing, even though RR does have a large facility in Indianapolis.
