BERLIN, July 28 (Reuters) - Mercedes-Benz MBGn.DE is closely monitoring possible regulatory changes in the United States that could affect the German carmaker due to its Chinese investors, CEO Ola Kaellenius said on Tuesday.
"We are not naive about the geopolitical environment and the competition between the United States and China," CEO Ola Kaellenius said, adding that the company was "deeply involved" in conversations on the ground.
It remains to be seen whether any acts impacting Mercedes would be passed and how exactly they would be worded, but the carmaker will make adjustments to comply if needed, Kaellenius told analysts during a quarterly results call.
