Xi-Trump Summit Could Redraw the US Auto Industry's Fate

Ahead of the Xi-Trump talks, US automakers, suppliers and dealers lobby to bar Chinese carmakers from the US market, citing national-security risks and potential job losses. Trump’s remarks about allowing Chinese-built cars if Americans are employed have amplified fears of market-access concessions, while Europe’s experience with Chinese EVs underscores the urgency. The White House and Congress are tightening rules on Chinese-connected vehicles, making the summit a critical test for the future of domestic auto manufacturing.
