US Rep. Debbie Dingell is leading a letter from 73 House Democrats urging President Donald Trump not to allow Chinese automakers access to the US market. The letter comes two weeks ahead of Trump's anticipated meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing. It states that allowing Chinese automobiles into the US market would pose a direct threat to American manufacturing, workers, and national security. Concerns have deepened in Washington over the growing global power of China's auto industry, especially after Canada reached a new trade deal allowing the import and sale of Chinese electric vehicles. US Sen. Bernie Moreno is expected to introduce a bill to ban Chinese automakers from selling in the US market. Trump's past statements on allowing Chinese carmakers to set up shop stateside have raised concerns among lawmakers and industry leaders, including Ford Motor Co. CEO Jim Farley, who warned that allowing Chinese automakers into the US market would be 'devastating'.
