Trump says he would allow Chinese automakers to build cars in US
Trump said Chinese automakers could open U.S. plants if they hire American workers, while keeping tariffs and import bans in place.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump said he would not oppose Chinese automakers building cars in the United States, provided they use American workers while maintaining the ban on imported finished vehicles from China.
- Regulations imposed by President Joe Biden in early 2025 effectively prohibit Chinese automakers from selling or building vehicles in the United States. The United States maintains tariffs exceeding 100% on Chinese EVs, reinforcing market exclusion.
- The Alliance, representing Automotive Innovation companies including Ford, Toyota, and General Motors, urged Congress last week to pass legislation permanently barring Chinese vehicles. CEO John Bozzella warned that automakers are "dumping subsidized vehicles" globally.
- This week, Michigan Democrat Senator Elissa Slotkin cited rumors that Trump is planning to allow Chinese cars to be sold in the United States. Trump dismissed the report as a "total phony rumor," affirming his commitment to keeping Chinese vehicles out.
- As Trump prepares to meet Chinese President Jinping in Washington in two weeks, industry executives worry about potential concessions. Chinese companies like BYD and Geely Automobile Holdings are expanding in Canada and Mexico, raising concerns about future United States market access.
