Audi US plant: Döllner's appearance with Trump: criticism and demands for resignation
Audi boss Döllner announces a US factory on Trump's campaign stage. Criticism ranges from "to sink into the ground with shame" to "extremely embarrassing". His resignation is even being demanded.
Audi CEO Gernot Döllner has faced criticism from employees and politicians after appearing on stage with US President Trump to announce plans for a new Audi factory in Perry, Georgia. The factory is expected to produce 200,000 SUVs per year, with investments of $4 billion and 4,500 new jobs. VW's works council chair Daniela Cavallo and Left Party leader Luigi Pantisano have condemned Döllner's appearance, with Pantisano calling for Döllner's resignation.
The criticism centers on Trump's history of racism, sexism, and xenophobia, and accusations that Döllner was helping with Trump's re-election campaign.
