How does this proposal compare to other global approaches, and what are its potential broader economic impacts?

The US mandates that at least 75% of a car's parts be US-made; South America and India have similar localization requirements (80% and 100% respectively). Périllat's proposal seeks to prevent the loss of European jobs by mirroring this protectionist approach, potentially impacting trade relations with China and the global automotive supply chain.
