"Look at the millions of cars they sell in the US, and we'll stop that," Trump said of BMW, adding that the Germans are "very bad." Spiegel reports that it learned of Trump's comments from participants in the meeting.
Trump threatened to impose a hefty import tax of 35% on German cars coming into the US in January, Reuters reported at the time.
BMW has a manufacturing facility in Spartanburg, South Carolina where it builds its X3, X4, X5 and X6. Roughly 65% of the cars produces at BMW's South Carolina facility are exported overseas, according to the Reuters report.
