Audi Confirms $4 Billion Georgia Plant Amid German Criticism
On 26 October, Audi confirmed a $4 billion investment to build a new factory near Macon, Georgia, creating about 4,500 jobs, while German officials and unions criticised the timing and political context of the announcement. President Donald Trump had announced on 24 October that Audi would construct a $4 billion assembly facility in Macon, projected to produce 200,000 SUVs a year. A later report said Audi cited a $4. 2 billion figure for the project.
The company’s chief executive later said the plant would boost U. S. sales and reduce exposure to tariffs. German union leaders and politicians condemned the CEO’s appearance with Trump at the rally, calling it a breach of the firm’s code of conduct and politically inappropriate.
