Elon Musk’s Tesla is hoisting a red flag, warning that the danger of Donald Trump’s trade war is at risk of eliminating US electric vehicle makers, stimulating job losses and damaging the economy.
In the signed Line For the US Trade Representative (USTR), Tesla warned that Trump’s prices could increase EV preparation costs in the United States and predict that any vengeance from other countries could increase export costs.
The letter states that “Tesla” supports a strong and complete process “to deal with unfair trade ways, but only those” who do not inadvertently harm American companies in this process. “
The car maker recommended that the USTR-non-fair trade methods investigate and investigate the losses of extraordinary trade agreements-“consider the effects of some proposed measures taken to deal with unfair trade ways.”
According to Tesla, the current process to deal with unfair trade is at risk of damaging more than 70,000 employees, and more extensively can mobilize job losses and shortages of employment in the US auto industry. It can also disrupt the supply chains, as Tesla claims that its best efforts also prove that it would be “impossible” to be a source of all parts from the United States at this time.
“Even despite the supply chain’s aggressive localization, it is difficult or impossible to make some parts and components within the United States,” the letter states that the USTR “is asked to evaluate the limits of domestic supply chain.”
Tesla warned that if this process changed, this process could make the United States less competitive in auto markets globally, and advised that “USTR should investigate ways to avoid these defects in future measures.”
Moving forward, Tesla has suggested that the USTR “keep in mind” how a trade war can hurt US exporters, as “US exporters naturally face neutral effects when other countries respond to US trade operations.”
