Trump Said to Want to Ban Mercedes-Benz and Other German Luxury Cars


“When you walk down Fifth Avenue, everybody has a Mercedes-Benz parked in
front of his house,” Trump said, according to a Wall Street Journal
translation of the comments.

“You were very unfair to the U.S.A. It isn’t mutual.


How many Chevrolets do you see in Germany?

Not many, maybe none, you don’t see anything at all over there. It’s a
one-way street.”


Trump told French president Emmanuel Macron he would maintain his trade
policy “until no Mercedes models rolled on Fifth Avenue in New York.”

The trade policy would seemingly affect any German automaker, though,
putting sales of Porsche and Volkswagen (and its Audi luxury division) at
risk as well as Daimler.


Trump began pushing for heavy tariffs (as much as 25%) on car imports a week
ago.

U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said at the time “there is evidence
suggesting that, for decades, imports from abroad have eroded our domestic
auto industry.”
