Mercedes Benz Group AG is considering shifting the production of another vehicle model to the US in response to Donald Trump’s 25% auto tariffs.

The move may be necessary to deal with the cost of the duties, Mercedes’ production chief Jörg Burzer said Thursday, declining to comment on which model may be moved to its factory in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

    Don’t. Just don’t.

    Trump will say: “oh look how desperate they are to sell us their cars”

    Have some spine and don’t, Mercedes

      Yes. This is exactly what we SHOULD NOT do…buckle down and kiss his ass…but someone, somewhere will give a few million to support Mercedes to build a factory in America, and they will cheer themselves how effective their tariffs are…it’s just a sad world we live in…
