Tesla has expressed concerns regarding the potential impact of Donald Trump's trade policies, warning that retaliatory tariffs could adversely affect electric vehicle manufacturers, including itself. In a letter to the US trade representative, Tesla emphasized the need to consider how actions taken to combat unfair trade practices might unintentionally harm US companies. The electric carmaker highlighted the risks associated with previous trade disputes and urged the government to carefully assess the downstream implications of its trade decisions, particularly as hostile responses from foreign markets could lead to increased tariffs on US exports.
As a US manufacturer and exporter, Tesla encourages the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) to consider the downstream impacts of certain proposed actions taken to address unfair trade practices.
US exporters are inherently exposed to disproportionate impacts when other countries respond to US trade actions.
