I’m Omar, the station’s economy and work columnist, with a clear-English look at a business decision and what it could mean for jobs and production.

A columnist is a writer who regularly writes about a particular subject for a newspaper, website, or station.

Audi plans to invest four billion dollars in its first factory in the United States, in Macon, Georgia.

Here, to invest means to put money into a project or business in the hope of getting a benefit.

Audi says some production will move from Bratislava, Slovakia, to the new site.

Here, “move from” means to transfer some manufacturing work from one place to another.

The announcement comes as Volkswagen, Audi’s parent company, faces steep US tariffs on goods imported from the European Union.

A parent company owns or controls another company.

The Guardian reports that Audi faces a 15 percent tariff on those imports.

Here, a tariff is a tax on goods brought into the country from elsewhere.
