flag U.S. automakers and industry groups urge Trump to avoid tariffs on factory robots, warning of higher costs and reduced competitiveness.

flag Major U.S. automakers, including GM, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Hyundai, along with Tesla and industry groups, are urging former President Trump not to impose tariffs on factory robots and industrial machinery, warning such measures could raise production costs, delay factory expansions, and increase vehicle prices. flag They note that nearly 40% of robotics installations in the U.S. in 2024 were in auto manufacturing and argue that tariffs would harm competitiveness and innovation. flag Foreign governments and business groups also oppose the move, citing risks to supply chains and semiconductor production. flag The White House has not responded.
