World's second largest automaker,
Volkswagen Group stops all US car imports
after Trump tariffs



World's second-largest automaker, Volkswagen
Group has made the shock decision to put all
US-bound cars on hold after introducing a 25%
tariff on all imported models.


The global automaker confirmed it's in a high-
stakes holding pattern triggered by President
Donald Trump's 25 percent tariff on imported
vehicles.


Reacting to the move, a spokesperson for
Volkswagen Group criticised the new tariff,
warning that it could damage economies
worldwide, including in America.


They explained: "We share the assessment of
most experts that US tariffs and any counter-
tariffs will have negative consequences for
growth and prosperity in the US and other
economic areas. The entire automotive industry,
global supply chains and companies as well as
customers will have to bear the negative
consequences."


Volkswagen has been producing vehicles in
America since 1978 and currently builds several
popular models, such as the Atlas SUV and ID.4
electric crossover, in its Tennessee factory.
However, other Volkswagen models, including the Jetta saloon and Tiguan SUV, are made in
neighbouring Mexico, while the Golf is imported
from . Other brands in the Volkswagen
Group, such as Audi, also import their entire
range of models from overseas.


As a result, the new import tariff will affect a
significant number of Volkswagen models,
making them more expensive for consumers to
buy.


To demonstrate the cause of the increased prices for consumers, Volkswagen stated that all models sold in America will feature an 'import fee', which will be shown alongside other typical
charges, such as road tax and optional extras.


According to a memo sent to car dealers,
Volkswagen Group will also freeze shipments to
America until further notice, with the company
said to have just under three months’ worth of
remaining stock.


Executives at the German company are
reportedly aiming to persuade the Trump
istration to revise the of the tari

you just nailed them. American cars are so weak 😂

If something destroys America then it's greed . Like play like play toks go dey enter US from Mexico borders bcs those American big for nothing box won't take Americans anywhere. OBJ did something like this in the 1970s that killed the manufacturing powes of Nigeria (when he created the indigenous business decree ) and today the manufacturing sector in Nigeria has died a natural death and Nigerians now optin for toks.

So you guys can tariff American products but cry when they retaliate ?

If he doesn't increase the price of his corn how do you expect him to meet other needs that are directly affected by Trump's tarrifs

Nxbb

Trump actually has great foresight, the trend is clear.

His approach may appear crude. Am not saying it viable or will be effective at all.

His main aim is to secure American leadership in global economics. If he does not act immediately now, it will be too late in the next 2 or 3 years.

With China's explosive and cheap EVs finding ways to break into more EU and American markets.
With continuous expansion of BRICS.

Trump feels the only way out is to use the dollar power and bully everyone into submission and re-negotiation.

It's a tough season for the world. Brace up everyone.

Where are the Trump Church Disciples who will come to preach how Volkswagen must bow down and accept Trump as their personal lord and savior?

Americans don't like factory works , that's the problem. And the immigrants that does the job , he's already sending them away

Selling abroad will also be difficult for them also

Very good and their market share goes to Ford, Chevrolet, Jeep, Toyota, Honda etc.
