German Car Manufacturer AUDI - Subject to Criticism


VW subsidiary AUDI lets Trump announce the construction of a US plant during
election campaign. Appearance of AUDI CEO violates company’s own guidelines.


According to media reports, the appearance of AUDI's CEO Döllner at an election campaign
event for US President Trump violates the car manufacturer’s internal guidelines.
At the event, Döllner announced the construction of a new AUDI plant in the United States.
The SPD (*) has voiced criticism.

SPD = Germany's Social Democratic Party, important coalition partner of the actual federal government.

And Germany's mighty labor union 'IG Metall' already warned that AUDI plannings are no yet decided.


AUDI becomes a pawn in the US election campaign

Trump promises the US a new AUDI plant – though a final decision is still pending.

AUDI itself speaks of "planning" and "intending" – the supervisory board has yet to grant its approval
