Audi CEO Gernot Döllner faces criticism in Germany after appearing with Trump at a Georgia campaign rally where a $4 billion Audi plant was announced.
Audi CEO Gernot Döllner appeared onstage with US President Donald Trump at a midterm campaign rally in Georgia, where Trump announced plans for a $4 billion Audi factory producing around 200,000 vehicles annually. IG Metall union chief Christiane Benner called the appearance "deeply embarrassing" and accused Döllner of breaching Audi's political neutrality rules. Benner said the plant still requires approval from Volkswagen's supervisory board.
