Hyundai Motor CEO Jose Munoz warned that the US could face a surge of Chinese vehicle imports similar to Europe unless tariffs and market-access safeguards are maintained. Chinese car prices undercut competitors by 30-40%, and US tariffs effectively block these EV imports, but could change, posing risks to established automakers.
