Trump, embracing Twitter again, presses
automakers to build in U.S.
BMW latest to be singled out for Mexico plans
WASHINGTON --
President-elect Donald Trump said on Sunday that automakers should starting
assembling motor vehicles in the United States if they wanted to do business in
country.
"Car
companies and others, if they want to do business in our country, have to start
making things here again. WIN!" Trump tweeted.
It was the
latest in a string of tweets from Trump that have targeted and prodded Ford
Motor Co., General Motors and Toyota Motor Corp. to manufacture in the U.S. or
face "border" taxes on imported vehicles.
Trump also
warned the United States will impose a border tax of 35 percent on cars that
BMW plans to build at a new plant in Mexico and export to the U.S. market.
Trump was
speaking in an interview with German newspaper Bild, which on Sunday released
excerpts of his comments translated into German.
A BMW
spokeswoman said a BMW Group plant in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, would build the
BMW 3 Series starting in 2019, with the output intended for markets worldwide.
The plant in Mexico would be an addition to existing 3 Series production sites
in Germany and China.
Trump said BMW
should build its new car factory in the United States because this would be
"much better" for the company.
He went on to
say Germany was a great car producer, borne out by Mercedes Benz cars being a
frequent sight in New York, but there was no reciprocity.
Germans are not
buying Chevrolets at the same rate, he said, making the business relationship
an unfair, one-way street. He said he was an advocate of free trade, but not at
any cost.
The BMW
spokeswoman said the company was "very much at home in the U.S.,"
employing directly and indirectly nearly 70,000 people in the country.
