Trump says Chinese cars could be sold if made in U.S., clashing with 100 percent tariff and sales curbs

U.S. President Donald Trump said he could accept Chinese automakers entering the United States if they build plants and make vehicles locally. The stance sits uneasily with existing U.S. restrictions, including a 100 percent tariff on China-made cars and rules limiting U.S. sales of vehicles using China-developed software or hardware, set to apply from 2027 and 2030. Politicians and officials have also raised concerns about China-linked auto and battery supply chains.
