Summary
American Cars, American Jobs Act of 2018
This bill establishes in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration the American Cars, American Jobs Program.

The bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to disallow a tax deduction for the global low-tax income of certain foreign subsidiaries of U.S. automakers whose profits exceed a specified percentage of their value.
