Trump: US could let Chinese firms build EVs if they hire American workers
US President Donald Trump said he would be open to a Chinese car company building electric vehicles in the United States if it hired American workers, while insisting the effective ban on imported Chinese vehicles stays. He made the remarks in a Fox News interview weeks before a planned summit with Xi Jinping in Washington. Chinese EVs from BYD and Geely are gaining global market share, and US lawmakers have warned against letting them in.
