While Trump’s tariffs have already hit goods from China, Mexico, and Canada, he has left Europe untouched—at least for now. But his warnings are getting louder, and companies aren’t taking any chances. In December, the president warned EU leaders to fix the “trade imbalances” or face the consequences. “Otherwise, it is TARIFFS all the way!!!” Trump posted on Truth Social.
Rolls Royce, best known for its high-end cars and aircraft engines, is reportedly preparing to shift significant manufacturing operations out of China, Mexico, and Canada, and into the United States. The company currently has 11 facilities and about 6,000 employees in America—and that number could soon rise.
An insider told The Telegraph that the company is “tipping the balance towards the U.S.” and reevaluating whether it makes sense to continue production in other countries. “If you are making something in countries like China then you’ll be looking at whether you can do it in the US instead,” the source said.
This isn’t just a rumor. During a recent earnings call, Rolls Royce directly addressed the elephant in the room: Trump’s tariffs. The company warned investors about “rising protectionism” and confirmed they were actively working on strategies to reduce their exposure to foreign-made goods that could be subject to new trade penalties.
President Trump has been crystal clear about his intentions to reassert American strength on the global stage, especially when it comes to unfair trade practices. In fact, he’s pegged April 2 as “liberation day,” a date when his administration could unveil a sweeping new round of tariffs aimed at countries still benefiting from one-sided deals.
“We’re getting back to some of the wealth that very, very foolish presidents gave away because they had no clue what they were doing,” Trump said last week.
In light of the looming tariffs, Rolls Royce isn’t just considering a pivot away from non-U.S. sites in China, Mexico, and Canada—it’s also taking a hard look at its footprint in the U.K. and across Europe. The company told shareholders that new tariffs could “lead to increased costs and consequently realign the global supply chain.”

“Market exposures are being monitored, and we are adapting supply chain strategies to ensure resilience amid potential protectionist measures and evolving trade dynamics,” the company stated.
The writing is on the wall: Companies that want to stay competitive under a second Trump term are moving their operations where it matters—right back to America.
If the rest of the world doesn’t want to play fair, President Trump is making sure that the U.S. stops playing nice. And it looks like Rolls Royce is the latest big name to get the message loud and clear.
