Tesla has communicated its concerns regarding President Donald Trump’s tariffs in a letter to the United States Trade Representative (USTR). The electric automaker, led by tech billionaire Elon Musk, highlighted potential exposure to retaliatory tariffs and urged the administration to evaluate downstream impacts of its trade actions.\nThe letter, dated March 11, emphasizes Tesla’s position as a U.S. manufacturer and exporter, noting that past tariff actions have increased costs for vehicles manufactured and exported from the U.S., making them less competitive in international markets. It also calls for consideration of supply chain issues, pointing out challenges in sourcing certain parts domestically. Tesla advocates for a balanced approach where trade actions do not conflict with supporting domestic manufacturing. — news from ABC News
