- Audi said a delegation traveled to Georgia for talks on the planned plant; the company was then asked to present the plans publicly with Trump.
- Audi acknowledged the appearance could be seen as a political signal, but said participation served the company’s interests and maintained political neutrality.
- The works council and IG Metall accused Döllner of breaching company rules, which reportedly bar appearances with politicians shortly before elections.
- Audi puts the planned US investment at around four billion euros; the plant is not yet approved and requires the VW supervisory board’s consent.
Anyone investing a lot of money in Georgia must also say what the future holds for Neckarsulm.— Baden-Württemberg Minister-President Cem Özdemir called for concrete prospects for the Neckarsulm site in light of Audi’s planned investment in Georgia.
