After Donald Trump announced that the United States had imposed new tariffs (25 percent) on imported vehicles, Jaguar Land Rover suspended deliveries of its vehicles to the United States. Now Audi has taken the same steps.

On April 2, the US government imposed a 25 percent tariff on imported cars and parts, which has put domestic and foreign manufacturers in a big problem. This forced Audi to suspend deliveries of vehicles to the US. The latest information shows that distributors in the US have 37,000 cars, which is enough for about two months. Also, a large number of cars are in the ports, but they have not yet cleared customs.

Under the slogan “Make America Great Again”, Donald Trump has twice become president of the United States. During his campaign, he expressed many controversial views that many did not agree with. However, what he must be given credit for is that he is consistent with his announcements, no matter how strange they may be. One of them is the reciprocal tariffs that he signed on April 2.

This decision also brought dissatisfaction to some people close to Trump, such as Elon Musk, because his company Tesla will also be affected by tariffs and countermeasures, which some countries have already announced.

In the case of Audi, the company could start using production facilities in Tennessee, which belong to the Volkswagen Group. However, the current political and economic situation in the world is uncertain, and if it is not resolved soon, Audi will have to find new solutions.
