Workers on visas employed by U.S. subsidiaries or joint ventures of Chinese or other covered-country automakers could see their employers forced to restructure or exit the U.S. market. If their employer loses the ability to sell vehicles or components in the U.S. due to the ownership thresholds, these workers could face job losses or need to find new sponsors.
