That's why German automakers are pissed off with the EU Commission lol

They want to compete, but von der Leyen doesn't let them.

Bit difficult when you're paying one part time worker $50b a year.

America literally manufactures cars in China but wants to ban chinese cars. America ruthlessly attacks anything that threatens its world domination one bit. Death to America.

Almost like we should focus on making the US better / competitive instead of trying to succeed by blocking others.

some japanese & korean automakers have teamed together to do that and i suspect that they'll be ahead of the curve of whatever the markets look like 10 years from now; meanwhile the the us and western europe is going to rely on tariffs that will only leave their automakers less prepared for what's coming.
