WASHINGTON, ‌Sept ​21 (Reuters) - ​More than two dozen Democratic lawmakers ‌on Friday urged President Donald ⁠Trump to keep in ‌place a ban on ‌Chinese automakers out of the US market, ​ahead of his meeting with China's President ⁠Xi Jinping this week.

"We urge you to ​maintain strong protections against Chinese automobiles and connected ​vehicle technologies and ‌ensure that China does not gain access ⁠to our market through direct imports, local production, ⁠and other avenues of circumvention," ​said the 27 lawmakers led by Representative Debbie Dingell.

Earlier this ‌month, Trump told Fox News he would ‌accept Chinese car companies ⁠building cars ‌in the ​United States.
