Auto Industry Groups Urge Trump to Bar Chinese Automakers Ahead of Xi Visit
Six major U.S. auto trade associations signed a joint letter to President Trump calling for restrictions on Chinese automakers, according to CNBC.
Leaders of six major U.S. auto trade groups have signed a joint letter to President Donald Trump urging him to bar Chinese automakers from the U.S. market, CNBC reported. The letter comes ahead of a planned visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping.
According to CNBC, the letter was signed by representatives of six separate trade organizations representing the American auto industry, though the report did not specify the names of all the groups or provide the full text of their appeal.
The timing of the letter, arriving before Xi's visit, suggests trade and market-access concerns tied to the automotive sector could feature in discussions between the two governments, CNBC reported.
Further details on the specific policy measures the groups are requesting, or on the Trump administration's response, were not included in the available reporting.
CNBC did not immediately provide additional comment from the White House, the Chinese government, or the individual trade associations involved.
