Dreaming of Driving a Peugeot in U.S.? Trump May Be a Roadblock
- PSA Group plotting a comeback to the American market by 2026
- North American chief crosses fingers that levies are avoided
Car buffs with a taste for Gallic style may have to wait a while longer for French cars to return to the U.S., thanks in part to President Donald Trump.
PSA Group has been plotting a return to the American market by 2026 -- first with a car-sharing service, then actually selling vehicles. But if Trump follows through on a potential 25 percent tariff on imported cars, the French automaker could look to Canada first and wait and see what happens with the U.S., said Larry Dominique, president of PSA North America. The company may have to offer more expensive vehicles due to higher levies, he said.
