Donald Trump criticized Tesla's potential factory in India, calling it "unfair" to the U.S. in a Fox News interview. He pointed to India's high car tariffs, which he raised during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's U.S. visit. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has long opposed India's import duties, which protect domestic automakers like Tata Motors. India recently lowered EV import taxes to 15% for automakers investing $500 million in local production. Tesla has picked locations for two showrooms in New Delhi and Mumbai and is hiring in India. Trump's push for reciprocal tariffs has heightened global trade tensions.
