British engineering giant Rolls-Royce is reportedly planning to increase its manufacturing presence in the United States to avoid tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump, according to London’s Daily Telegraph.
The company is developing contingency plans to mitigate the impact of Trump’s trade restrictions, which could involve shifting production from countries like China, Canada, and Mexico—where it employs around 6,000 workers—to the U.S. As reported by Breitbart, a Rolls-Royce spokesperson says: “We have additional capacity within some of our U.S. operations and continuously seek to explore options to ensure that our global internal supply chain is optimized for delivery to customers in the U.S.”

This move may also include hiring more American workers and potentially relocating production from the UK and Europe if tariffs threaten those regions. A source indicated that producing in tariff-affected countries like China prompts consideration of U.S.-based alternatives.
The strategy aligns with Trump’s push to bring manufacturing back to the U.S., with “Liberation Day” on April 2 marking the start of new “fair and reciprocal” tariffs.
Other major firms, including Apple, Oracle, and various automakers, are similarly investing in U.S. production to avoid tariff impacts.
