Reuters: The U.S. maintains its ban on Chinese automotive software and hardware, with both parties opposing Chinese companies building factories in the U.S. On April 9, U.S. Trade Representative Grilley made clear that the Trump administration would not revise the rules introduced by the Biden government in January 2025. These rules, citing "national security," prohibit the sale of vehicles in the U.S. using Chinese software and hardware. The software ban has already taken effect as of March 2026, while the hardware ban will be enforced starting in 2029, effectively blocking Chinese cars from entering the U.S. market.

This January, Trump expressed openness to Chinese automakers establishing factories in the U.S., but members of Congress from both parties generally opposed the idea, arguing it threatens American industries and national security.
