Tesla has called on American authorities not to take steps that will lead to a further increase in the increasing imports of raw materials in the country.
Tesla is afraid of responding duties from other countries for imports from the United States. This is stated in his unspoken letter to the US merchant representative, Jamison Gir, on March 11, reported financial times.
It is noted that American exports face “incredible consequences if other countries take their actions in response to foreign economic steps of the United States.”
“In particular, the previous steps to the United States -foreign economic foreign led to an immediate reaction from the countries where they were directed, in particular, to increase the duties of electric cars that were imported by them,” the letter said.
The company understands that the trade war will increase the cost of making a car in the states, and calls for American authorities not to take steps that lead to a further increase in importing imports of raw materials in the country, such as lithium and cobalt.
Tesla said they are changing the global supply chain to buy and produce many materials and components for electrical vehicles and lithium-ion batteries in the United States.
“However, even with the forced localization of supply chains, some details and substances are very difficult or almost impossible to reach the United States,” the company has noted, calling for the grire to “re -caress the restrictions on the internal supply chains to ensure that foreign -economic steps will not create too much burden for American manufacturers in the field of foreign trading fields.”
Remember, on March 4, Trump’s new duties of 25% for goods from Mexico and Canada have implemented, as well as doubling duties to Chinese goods up to 20%. In response, China and Canada introduced duties to American goods.
After that, Donald Trump decided to double duties – up to 50% – for importing iron and aluminum from Canada. He also threatened to neglect a Canadian automotic industry.
