Volkswagen plans to lay off 50,000 employees in Germany amid restructuring, while Audi announces a €4 billion factory investment in the U.S. during a Trump rally. Audi's CEO revealed the factory will create 4,500 jobs and produce 200,000 vehicles annually, starting in 2030. This decision comes as Volkswagen faces challenges in Germany, including potential factory closures and union opposition to job cuts. Audi's investment is partly driven by U.S. tariffs on imported vehicles, which previously cost the company €1.2 billion. The new facility aims to enhance Audi's competitiveness in the American market.
