"They can build cars [in Mexico] for the US, but they'll pay 35 percent taxes on every car that comes to the US," said Trump in an interview with German newspaper Bild.

Trump suggested BMW should build a factory in the US, not in Mexico. “It would be much better for them and for our efforts," he said, translated into German.

Germany's Vice Chancellor and Economy Minister Sigmar Gabriel told Bild that imposing such tariffs would make "the American auto industry worse, weaker and more expensive."

The German minister also called for a harder position in trade talks with Trump. "We're not weak and inferior," Gabriel said.

Trump also accused German cars producers of unfair behavior. There is a Mercedes-Benz in front of every house on some American streets, he said.

"How many Chevrolets do you see in Germany? Not too many, maybe none, you can see nothing over there, it's a one-way street,” Trump said. The US president-elect added he is pro-free trade, but not at all costs. “It must be a clever trade for me,” he said.

To this, Gabriel replied that "the US needs to build better cars."

What does Trump drive - or rather, what is Trump driven in?  A Chevrolet?  Any American-made car?

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
