Another Win For American Workers As Trump’s Tariffs Pay Off Big

Audi will open its first factory in the United States, in Georgia, President Donald Trump announced Saturday at a midterm campaign rally in Perry. The $4 billion project is projected to create 4,500 jobs. Trump said the German automaker is investing to sidestep the tariffs he imposed last year on trading partners, and he described the plant as the biggest single investment in the modern American auto industry, according to Daily Wire.

According to Trump, the facility will turn out 200,000 vehicles annually, with construction beginning in 2027. Audi expects production to start in the early 2030s. It was the only major German brand lacking a U. S. plant, having supplied American buyers with vehicles made in Germany, Mexico, and Central and Eastern Europe, while BMW and Mercedes-Benz have long operated in the South. Audi raised prices on several models last year, and says tariffs trimmed its 2025 profits by roughly $1. 4 billion, with a comparable hit anticipated this year.

The announcement follows other investment news Trump has highlighted while campaigning for Republicans, including a $100 million federal investment in a Kentucky drug plant. Anduril committed $3.
