Slovak PM Fico Refuses VW Talks Amid Audi US Move, Merz Feud

Slovak PM Robert Fico has refused talks with Volkswagen after reports that Audi will shift production to the USA, a move he links to his feud with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

The actual decision-making behind Audi's move remains unclear, and the economic impact on Slovakia is uncertain.
