Story summary

On October 24, 2026, President Donald Trump announced at a campaign rally in Perry, Georgia, that Audi would build its first U.S. factory nearby in Macon, investing $4.2 billion to produce 200,000 cars annually starting from the early 2030s. The investment is expected to create approximately 4,500 jobs and marks Audi's long-term commitment to establishing North America as a third major production hub alongside Europe and China. Trump attributed this decision to his tariffs, claiming they made the U.S. richer and more attractive for foreign investments despite criticisms from German unions and labor representatives who are concerned about potential job losses in Germany.
