Now Playing 3:14 watched Harley Davidson moving production over Harley-Davidson said that tariffs enacted by the EU in response to Trump’s tariffs on the import of steel and aluminum from the EU increased the duty paid by Harley Davidson’s Europe-bound bikes made in the U.S. to 31% from 6%. This will increase the cost of an average motorcycle by $2,200, the company said. As a result, Harley-Davidson said it will increase production at its international plants over the next 9-18 months.

(AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais) Because while Harley-Davidson had already announced that it would close a Kansas City plant next year — resulting in the expected loss of 260 jobs in the U.S. — this latest action from the Trump administration adds to the stress of a U.S. corporation struggling with a declining domestic customer base and the allure of moving jobs overseas.

You beat me to it. I was going to link this. Another unintended consequence from our ruler in chief! You would think their economic advisors would have told them this.

Horsefly Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Forget unintended, this is the logical consequence of a trade war. This is exactly why I've told many to settle down and get off trumps jock and let his actual decisions have an impact, we are starting to see that now. The hype and silly meme period is over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
