SaysWho? Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/25/business/harley-davidson-us-eu-tariffs.html Quote Harley-Davidson, the American motorcycle manufacturer, said on Monday that it was shifting some of the production of its bikes outside the United States to avoid European Union tariffs imposed as part of a widening trade dispute. Quote Harley-Davidson said on Monday that European Union tariffs on its motorcycles had increased to 31 percent, from 6 percent. It estimated that the higher tariffs would add about $2,200 on average to every motorcycle exported from the United States to the bloc, so it said it would move the production of bikes bound for Europe outside the United States. The EU's retaliation affects states Trump won: Quote The list included bourbon from Kentucky, the home state of the Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell; as well as orange juice, which is made largely in the swing state of Florida; and motorcycles made by Harley-Davidson, headquartered in Wisconsin, the home state of the House speaker, Paul D. Ryan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is more than enough of a victory to offset the permanent loss of US manufacturing jobs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wisconsin is one of the states Trump won with a razor thin margin to put him over the top. Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan by just over 75,000 votes combined.

SuperSpreader Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I'm mostly amused that getting cozy with Trumpo is hurting these corporations now. I hope it hurts them more. Of course on the other side we have Schumer who will apologize and cave more later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly these pieces are just garbage, like the ones where they go to some podunk diner to talk to "real Americans" and they all still back Trump cause they're a bunch of retired old farts who go to diners, basically his base. Meanwhile in the suburbs typical GOP voters are voting Dem and turnout in Democratic areas is surging to presidential year levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
