“I’d Be Okay With That”: Trump Says He’s Open To Chinese Automakers Building Cars In US<\/span><\/p>\n

In comments that most people missed on Friday,\u00a0President Donald Trump suggested that he’s open to letting Chinese automakers build cars on US soil<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Speaking with\u00a0Fox News<\/em>, Trump said that while he wouldn’t allow Chinese cars to\u00a0operate<\/em>\u00a0in the United States because the US market would be overrun – he might be open to\u00a0manufacturing<\/em>\u00a0them here.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We don’t allow his cars into the United States, and I never did,” he said,\u00a0referring to Chinese leader Xi Jinping, noting that then-President Joe Biden had kept his policies on Chinese cars.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“If China wanted to come in and open a plant to build their cars here, I’d be okay with that. Japan does it, but they hire our people. The big thing is they hire our people,”\u00a0<\/strong>he continued, adding “What I don’t want is them to build in Mexico and just … build it inexpensively and ship it across the border.”<\/p>\n

As\u00a0The Epoch Times<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>notes further,\u00a0a\u00a0regulation imposed by the Biden administration in early 2025 effectively bans all Chinese automakers from selling or building passenger vehicles in the United States.<\/strong> Washington also maintains more than 100 percent tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles.<\/p>\n

Trump’s remarks came ahead of Xi’s planned visit to the United States later this month.<\/strong> The president said<\/a> on July 23 that he would discuss artificial intelligence with the Chinese leader during the visit. The two leaders last met during Trump’s visit to Beijing in May, where Trump formally invited Xi and his wife, Peng Liyuan, to the White House.<\/p>\n

The Alliance for Automotive Innovation, a Washington-based group representing major U.S. automakers, on Sept. 3 urged Congress to permanently ban the sale, import, and manufacture of Chinese-connected vehicles, hardware, and software before the current congressional session ends.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Right now, Chinese automakers are dumping subsidized vehicles with connected software and hardware around the world,” John Bozzella, the group’s president and CEO, said in a letter to the congressional leadership.<\/p>\n

Bozzella warned that China is gaining market share in Europe, Australia, Southeast Asia, Mexico, and South America with vehicles that can collect, process, and transmit “sensitive vehicle and consumer data to the Chinese Communist Party.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

It hasn’t happened yet inside the United States, he said. He urged lawmakers to act quickly, given the scale and urgency of the threat.<\/p>\n
