- Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy recently criticized Ford over its licensing deal with Chinese battery manufacturer CATL for a Michigan facility, while Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin expressed concern about potential packages allowing Chinese cars.
- The president clarified he opposes Chinese brands using Mexico to circumvent trade rules and ship vehicles into the country.
- Later this month, Trump is scheduled to meet Chinese President Jinping in Washington, though whether these discussions lead to policy shifts remains uncertain amid strained bilateral relations.
