The U.S. auto industry has called on the Trump administration to maintain strict trade barriers against China ahead of an upcoming visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping, warning that loosening restrictions could undermine American manufacturing and supply chains. Industry leaders emphasize concerns over China’s dominance in electric vehicle production and subsidies, arguing that competitive pressures from state-backed policies threaten domestic automakers. The push comes as tensions over trade and industrial policy remain high, with automakers seeking reassurance that existing tariffs and regulatory measures will not be rolled back. Analysts suggest the move reflects broader anxieties about China’s growing influence in the global automotive sector.
