Kyiv • UNN
Audi has stopped exporting cars to the USA in response to Trump's new tariffs. The company wants to sell shares that are already in the USA.
In response to the new tariffs introduced by Donald Trump, German automaker Audi has temporarily suspended exports of its cars to the United States.
UNN reports with reference to Bild and Blick.
Details
The car manufacturer Audi, based in Ingolstadt, is suspending the supply of cars to the USA.
A representative of the group confirmed to the German publication Bild that Audi has sent a corresponding note to American dealers.
All cars shipped after April 2 will not be delivered to local dealers (in the USA) for the time being.
Audi also wants to sell shares that are already in the USA.
Reference
To date, Audi has approximately 37,000 cars in the United States that are not subject to the new customs tariffs of the Trump administration.
It should also be noted that Audi does not have its own production in the USA. The Q5, a popular model in the United States, is produced at the Audi plant in Mexico; the rest comes from factories in Germany, Hungary and Slovakia.
