Trump: Audi to Build $4 Billion Car Plant in the US
US President Donald Trump has announced that Audi plans to build a new $4 billion car assembly plant in the state of Georgia. It is intended to produce the brand's largest and highest-class SUV models.
US President Donald Trump has announced that the car brand Audi plans to build a new vehicle assembly plant in the state of Georgia, in the southeastern United States. The project is valued at 4 billion US dollars. It would expand the brand's production directly in the American market.
What the plant is to produce
The plant is expected to turn out about 200,000 SUVs, or sport utility vehicles, in a year. The new facility is meant to build the brand's largest and highest-class SUV models.
What prompted the decision
According to the source, Audi's decision was encouraged by import duties the United States has introduced on cars, steel and other goods. Such duties affect the costs of carmakers that bring goods in from other countries.
The announcement came from the US president rather than from the company itself, so further details on how the project will proceed and its timeline are not yet known.
