Auto industry urges Trump to keep Chinese automakers out ahead of Xi meeting WASHINGTON, Sept 18 (Reuters) - A group representing major automakers, suppliers and dealers on Friday urged President Donald Trump to keep Chinese automakers out of the US market, ahead of his meeting with China's President Xi Jinping next week.
Last week, Trump told Fox News he would be OK with Chinese car companies building cars in the United States. "We urge your administration to maintain policies that keep the door firmly shut to Chinese automakers seeking to sell, import or manufacture vehicles inside the U.S.," said the letter to Trump by six groups representing General Motors, Toyota, Volkswagen, Tesla and others.
