德國企業伍爾特集團是世界上最大的組裝和緊固材料供應商之一，這個家族的大家長說，只要特朗普還是美國總統，伍爾特集團就不會再在美國進行投資。

萊茵哈德·伍爾特，這位德國著名的“螺絲大王”告訴《周日畫報》（Bild am Sonntag），他“保證公司現階段不會在美國投資了”。

“美國占我們年銷售額的14%，價值18億歐元（合21億美元），但我不想再加大在美國的投入了。”伍爾特說，這也說明83歲高齡的他仍然能影響這家私營企業的政策。

伍爾特說他之所以對在美投資持保留態度，是因為美國“政策總體來說不明確”。“我說過，我們會等著，看特朗普總統在四年后能否連任”，他告訴《周日畫報》，“他下臺之時就是伍爾特回歸之日。”

這位億萬富翁在說這話之前，特朗普總統才剛剛決定向歐盟、加拿大和墨西哥的鋼鐵和鋁征收高額關稅。根據美方的數據，德國占美國鋼鐵進口額的4%。只有略高于2%的進口鋁來自德國。

特朗普還在爭取把進口汽車關稅提升至25%，他似乎對德國豪華汽車能在美國市場占有一席之地特別生氣。德國是歐盟中向美國出口汽車最多的國家。

去年11月，伍爾特集團買下了紐約一家老牌建筑物料制造商溫斯托克兄弟（Weinstock Bros），這是伍爾特工業北美分部在三年內進行的第5筆交易。伍爾特的一名發言人告訴《財富》雜志，公司目前在美國沒有其它并購計劃。（財富中文網）

One of the world’s biggest suppliers of assembly and fastening materials, Germany’s Würth Group, will not invest any more in the United States while President Donald Trump is in power, the patriarch of the Würth family has said.

Reinhold Würth, popularly known in Germany as the “Screw King,” told the Sunday newspaper Bild am Sonntag that he had “made sure we are no longer investing in the U.S. at the moment.”

“We make 14% of our annual sales there—€1.8 billion [$2.1 billion]—but I do not want to increase our engagement in America any further,” he said, explaining how he still made his presence felt at the privately-held company at the age of 83.

Würth said his reticence about further investment was based on the “general, uncertain political situation” in the U.S. “I said, we’ll wait and see if President Trump is re-elected in four years,” he told the paper. “Würth returns when he goes.”

The billionaire’s comments came just after President Trump imposed hefty tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from the EU, Canada and Mexico. According to U.S. figures, Germany is the source of 4% of American steel imports. Just over 2% of U.S. aluminum imports come from Germany.

Trump is also pushing for 25% tariffs on car imports, and seems particularly angry about German luxury cars having a place on American roads. Germany is Europe’s biggest exporter of automobiles to the U.S.

Last November, the group bought Weinstock Bros, a venerable New York maker of supplies for the construction industry—the fifth transaction in three years for Würth Industry North America. A Würth spokesperson told Fortune that no additional acquisitions are currently planned in the U.S.
