Audi CEO Döllner criticized after appearance with Trump

Audi's CEO Gernot Döllner faces criticism after appearing with Trump to announce a new factory in Georgia. Critics, including Niedersachsen's Prime Minister Olaf Lies, argue that such announcements should not occur at political events. Lies emphasized that the final decision on the investment is pending and must be made by the appropriate corporate bodies. He also stressed the importance of securing jobs in Germany alongside US expansion. Left party leader Luigi Pantisano called for Döllner's resignation, citing violations of Audi's principles against participating in political events. The backdrop includes upcoming US midterm elections, which could shift political dynamics.
