On September 24, during Xi Jinping’s visit to Washington, Donald Trump expressed openness to Chinese automakers setting up operations in the United States.
This statement comes as Chinese cars are virtually absent from the American market and marks a notable shift in the tone of trade relations between the two countries.
The discussions also covered tariffs and artificial intelligence, but Trump’s openness regarding the automotive sector is particularly significant.
