world.\u00a0European automakers are committed to being active in the US, making an important contribution to the US economy,\u00a0accounting for around half a million jobs* across the auto sector, exporting over 750,000 vehicles to the US in 2024, and actively investing in local communities to foster economic prosperity,\u201d said Sigrid de Vries, Director General of the European Automobile Manufacturers\u2019 Association (ACEA). \u201cWe urge our leaders to meet urgently so that they can find a solution to any issues preventing free and fair trade between historic allies and allow the
