奥迪首席执行官格诺特·德尔纳（Gernot Döllner）于10月24日周六在美国佐治亚州与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普共同出席竞选集会，此举随即引发德国国内强烈反响 1。德国最大金属行业工会IG Metall工会主席克里斯蒂安娜·本纳（Christiane Benner）严厉指责该行为“深感尴尬且政治上不可接受”，并指出德尔纳违反了禁止在选举前三个月内与候选人公开露面的公司行为准则 1。
下萨克森州州长奥拉夫·利斯（Olaf Lies）批评德尔纳参与了一场政治奇观，并指出大众汽车作为股东对此感到担忧 1。面对指控，奥迪方面回应称，此举是为了公司的最佳利益，旨在推进在美国建立工厂的计划 1。据报道，该建厂计划预计投资额约为40亿美元（34亿欧元），建成后大型SUV的年产能将达到约20万辆 1。
Gernot Döllner, the chief executive of Audi, has drawn sharp criticism from German labor unions and political figures after appearing alongside U.S. President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Georgia on Saturday, October 24 1. Christiane Benner, head of the IG Metall union, described the event as "deeply embarrassing and politically unacceptable," noting that it violated company guidelines prohibiting public appearances with candidates within three months of an election 1. Olaf Lies, the governor of Lower Saxony, further condemned the move as participation in a "political spectacle," stating that Volkswagen, Audi’s parent company and major shareholder, shares these concerns 1.
In its defense, Audi argued that the decision was made in the best interest of the company to advance plans for a new manufacturing plant in the United States 1. The proposed facility is expected to produce approximately 200,000 large SUVs annually, representing an investment of around $4 billion (€3.4 billion) 1. This controversy occurred amidst broader diplomatic activities by German leaders, including Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s visit to Singapore, Japan, and South Korea aimed at strengthening partnerships and reducing dependency on single nations, as well as President Frank-Walter Steinmeier’s state visit to China seeking fairer trade relations and support in ending the Russia-Ukraine war 1.
