Tesla sent an unsigned letter to the U.S. Trade Representative warning of the impact of retaliatory tariffs on the electric vehicle maker, according to a report in the Financial Times. Tesla happens to be run by Trump senior advisor Elon Musk. “As a U.S. manufacturer and exporter, Tesla encourages USTR to consider the downstream impacts of certain proposed actions taken to address unfair trade practices,” reads part of the letter, adding U.S. exporters were “exposed to disproportionate impacts when other countries respond to US trade actions.”
