Top executives of Volkswagen, BMW, and Daimler are meeting with senior Trump administration officials, as the United States considers slapping tariffs on European-made cars.
The executives underline Europe’s plea to cut tariffs on cars and explain the importance that German industry plays as a net exporter of vehicles from the United States.
The German carmakers operate factories in the southern auto belt and export thousands of vehicles from the U-S to other countries, helping the U-S balance of trade, and employing thousands of U-S workers.
