Trump administration approves US sales for Chinese-owned Volvo
The Trump administration approved Chinese-owned Volvo to continue selling cars in the US, despite a Biden-era rule banning most China-connected vehicles and tariffs blocking Chinese EV makers. US officials clarified the Volvo exception is not indicative of broader approvals, while lawmakers have pushed for stricter restrictions citing national security concerns. President Donald Trump has expressed support for Chinese car plants in the US.
