Volvo CEO Makes Strong Defense Amid Trade War Tensions. In a recent statement, Volvo CEO Jim Rowan has pushed back against comments made by US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer's advisor Peter Navarro, who claimed that the Swedish automaker's decision to source batteries from China undermines its commitment to American jobs. Rowan emphasized that the company's supply chain strategy is designed to ensure the best possible quality and efficiency, and that its partnership with Chinese battery maker CATL (not CALB) is a key component of that strategy. The exchange highlights the ongoing tensions between the US and China in the automotive sector, as the two nations engage in a high-stakes trade war.
