Mercedes risks US sales ban under Senate China bill

Mercedes-Benz faces a potential US sales ban due to a bipartisan Senate bill targeting foreign-owned automakers. The proposed legislation, which the Commerce panel is set to vote on, would prohibit the sale of connected vehicles by companies with more than 15% Chinese ownership. This specific ownership threshold puts Mercedes at risk of being barred from the US market, as the bill aims to restrict companies with significant Chinese ownership from operating within the United States.
