Top executives of Volkswagen AG and Daimler AG are set to meet senior Trump administration officials on Dec. 4, the White House said, as the United States considers slapping tariffs on European-made cars.

White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer are among those preparing to attend the White House meeting. A senior BMW AG executive is also expected to attend.
