Elon Musk Tesla warns that she can face revenge fees by Trump’s aggressive actions

Tesla has warned that she and other large US exporters are exposed to vengeful fees that may be in response to aggressive use of President Trump’s tariffs.

Tesla Director General Elon Musk, a close Trump ally, has led the White House’s effort to reduce the size of the federal government. The billionaire heads the so -called government efficiency department.

The letter to the US Trade Representative office reflects comments from many American businesses interested in Trump’s fees, and is evident because it is from Tesla. It is not clear who writes the letter, which is signed, but is in the letter of the company.

Tesla said it is important to ensure that Trump administration efforts to address trade issues “do not inadvertently harm US companies”. She said she was eager to avoid revenge on the type she faces in preliminary disputes, which results in increased tariffs for imported vehicles in countries undergoing US tariffs.

“US exporters are naturally exposed to disproportionate influences when other countries respond to American trade actions,” Tesla said in paper. “For example, past trade actions from the United States have resulted in reactions immediately from target countries, including increased increased tariffs in those countries.”

Trump is considering setting up fees of meaning for vehicles and parts made worldwide in early April.

Tesla warned that even with the aggressive localization of the supply chain, “certain parts and components are difficult or impossible to resume within the United States.”

The motorist added that companies will

Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for a comment.

“As an American manufacturer and exporter, Tesla encourages the Ustrink to consider the impacts on the lower course of certain actions proposed to address unjust practices,” Evner said on Tuesday’s letter.

Autos Drive America, a trading group representing key foreign automobiles including Toyota, Volkswagen, BMW, Honda and Hyundai, warned the Ust in particular comments than the “wide -based tariffs will disrupt production in the plants of the American Assembly”.

The group added, “Automobiles cannot shift their overnight supply chains, and cost increases will inevitably lead to a combination of higher consumer prices, fewer models offered to consumers and closing lines of US production, leading to possible loss of labor throughout the supply chain.”
