The report says that Audi is eyeing the potential for a new factory location in the US in responding to Trump’s tariffs. However, no firm decision has been made yet with Audi CEO believed to be waiting for at least a permanent tariff agreement between the EU and the US. That being said, a definitive decision is expected by this year-end with the automaker wanting to react quickly if need be to the situation.

With Audi being a Volkswagen subsidiary, they could leverage off the existing plant in Tennessee but it appears the company is of the view that a new plant will give it better prospects. The location of the new plant is reportedly set to be in southern US with roughly 3,000 to 4,000 workers being employed.
