Summary:
- President Trump announced that Audi will build its first-ever U.S. factory in Macon, Georgia, to produce 200,000 cars annually.
- Audi Chief Executive Gernot Döllner said the automaker plans to produce its biggest and most premium SUVs at the Macon plant.
- Audi has been vulnerable to tariffs, which hit its profits by about 1.2 billion euros in 2025 and are expected to do the same this year.
This is much, much more than about tariffs. It is discouraging that TWSJ focuses on tariffs when there is so much more to the story.
A "lot of stuff" is happening in the automobile manufacturing sector right now. Most notably: GM abruptly canceling its contract with a magnet factory in Germany.
It is interesting to do a word search on the blog: renewable energy in Europe, West Germany, etc.
