Hyundai’s executive has raised concerns that Chinese automakers, which have already gained significant market share in Europe, could pose a similar threat to the U.S. auto industry if existing tariffs and trade protections are removed.

The call underscores the stakes in ongoing trade negotiations and regulatory debates.
