Yes, why not? They aren't prohibited, they're just being given a disadvantage compared to American made vehicles being sold in America. A tax for notoriously poor labor standards, we can call it. If they want to use a union shop somewhere in middle America they can avoid that tax altogether.

If I misunderstood you please correct me.
