Three Democratic senators on April 3 urged President Donald Trump to bar Chinese carmakers from building vehicles in the US and to prevent Chinese cars assembled in Mexico or Canada from entering the US.
Senators Tammy Baldwin, Elissa Slotkin and Chuck Schumer cited Mr Trump’s comments in January in Detroit that he is open to Chinese carmakers building US factories.
Currently, high barriers already exist for Chinese vehicles in the US, including tariffs of around 100 per cent, but US consumers have become more interested in the vehicles, according to recent surveys.
