Sportscar maker Lotus considering shifting UK production to US
Lotus, a UK-based sportscar maker, is contemplating moving production to the US due to tariffs affecting car imports. The company is reviewing the situation to potentially shift manufacturing to the US, endangering 1,300 jobs in the UK. President Trump's tariff policies have significantly impacted the UK's car industry, resulting in decreased exports to the US and prompting carmakers like Lotus to reconsider their production locations.
