Carmakers Ask Trump to Block Chinese Cars From Entering the U.S.

Leading U.S. automakers are pressing the White House to protect the domestic market from a possible wave of Chinese cars. Their concern is that any softer approach could open the door to cheaper vehicles heavily backed by Beijing.

The request comes as the Trump-Xi meeting approaches. For the American industry, the goal is to stop trade tensions from turning into fresh pressure on prices, profits and jobs.
