US eases some tariffs as Audi plans $4bn Georgia plant and ranchers voice unease

A US tariff pause is adding unease for American cattle ranchers just as cattle go to market, while boosting beef imports from Brazil. On Sunday, Audi said it will spend $4bn on its first US factory, in Macon, Georgia, creating 4,500 jobs, as Volkswagen faces pressure from US tariffs. On Friday, the White House said tariffs on some Canadian goods will be lifted.

  • Audi's Georgia factory is planned to create 4,500 jobs. Volkswagen is under pressure from US tariffs, Chinese competition and the costly shift to EVs, with job cuts at home.
  • Senator Susan Collins said she had worked with the White House on tariff relief for Canadian goods.
