Commentary: Donald Trump, the Audi CEO – and the hypocrites in Germany
Criticism of Gernot Döllner's appearance with the US President does not subside. This rather speaks against the critics than against the Audi CEO. He did look clumsy, but did what was necessary.
Audi CEO Gernot Döllner's appearance with US President Donald Trump has sparked widespread criticism in Germany. However, some argue that the criticism is overly simplistic and overlooks the circumstances surrounding the event. Audi is currently facing significant challenges, including a decline in its China business and poor performance in the US market.
