Tesla warns White House over tariffs in unsigned letter: It's a polite way to say that bipolar tariff regime is screwing [View all]

(Fortune) -snip- Just days after Elon Musk turned the White House lawn into a Tesla showroom, the company has written to the Trump administration with concerns about international retaliation to tariffs.

In an unsigned letter addressed to U.S. trade representative Jamieson Greer, Tesla warned that "U.S. exporters are inherently exposed to disproportionate impacts when other countries respond to U.S. trade actions."

The company cautioned that aggressive tariffs could lead to retaliatory measures from other nations that could directly impact American manufacturers and exporters. The EV maker highlighted the potential fallout for the automotive sector, pointing to past trade actions that have triggered immediate countermeasures.
