Volkswagen is negotiating directly with the U.S. government to ease tariffs in exchange for deeper investment commitments.
Volkswagen CEO Oliver Blume confirmed that the company is in talks with the U.S. government over potential tariff relief and future investments. While the main contact is reportedly U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, the matter has also reached President Donald Trump. Blume stated that Volkswagen is eager to expand its investments in the U.S., where it already employs over 20,000 people directly and more than 55,000 indirectly.
Blume stressed that foreign companies investing in the U.S. should be offered favorable terms. Meanwhile, Handelsblatt reports that Mercedes-Benz and BMW are also seeking to negotiate tariff arrangements with the U.S. government.
