Why Germany's Volkswagen could cut 100,000 jobs

Volkswagen, Europe's largest automaker, is considering cutting 100,000 jobs as part of a major restructuring effort. This move is largely driven by increased competition from China, high production costs, and ongoing US tariffs that have impacted the company's global sales. The potential job cuts would have significant implications for the German car industry, which has long been a backbone of the country's economy.
