There, cars that arrived in the country after April 2, when American president Donald Trump, introduced 25 percent tariffs for all imported cars. This is written by Automotive News. How long Audi will be in the open air is still unknown. Perhaps the situation will clear on Monday after the meeting of automakers with the head of the European Commission Ursula von der Lyain.
Audi sent a letter to the dealers, which states that the company pauses all deliveries from April 2 to further notification.
Now about 37 thousand Audi cars are stored in warehouses in the United States. According to dealers, this will be enough for about two months if the sales will go at the same pace.

The issue with cars stuck in the port can be decided next Monday. On April 14, the leaders of European companies will meet on Monday with the head of the European Commission Ursula von der Layen to discuss the reaction to Trump’s tariffs.
Auto -manufacturers have not yet developed long -term plans in response to duties. So, Mercedes-Benz, unlike Audi, decided not to retain supplies. Despite the already difficult financial situation, the company will temporarily cover the duties itself, without raising prices for Americans. The same decision was made by BMW. Volkswagen and Jaguar Land Rover suspended the shipment of cars, and Stellantis even had to temporarily close two plants in Canada and Mexico.
