A jacket with a message on it.
It could well be the case that she wasn't intending to say anything with that jacket, but it's a bit of an own goal.

EU tariffs drive Harley-Davidson to move production out of America.

Quote:

Harley-Davidson is planning to move some manufacturing out of America in response to Europe’s new tariffs on motorcycle imports.

That could be serious blow to Harley workers in America - and a stark example of the damage that a trade dispute can cause.
Quote:

Europe implemented tariffs on imports of US goods, including motorbikes and bourbon, in response to Donald Trump’s new tariffs on steel and aluminium.

This is what you get when you get protectionism and trade wars.

Bingo...trade wars never ever work.

The whole exercise is one of complete futility. Nobody will win and the entire consumer base will lose. (All around the world).

As I understand it they already have manufacturing plants in a few other countries and will simply be using them for sales to EU countries, to avoid the tariffs.

Trump really is making a mess of the markets and his petty behaviour is not going to end well for many companies.

Did you see it when trump told BMW to make the cars in America, they already do, more than they import there to I'd imagine. I'm starting to grow tired of his act, he kept my attention longer than bozo admittedly but I think the children in cages was the final straw for me

They've been making Harleys in Spain for years.

You're mistaken. Their factories are all outside Europe.
USA, Missouri, Kansas City
USA, Pennsylvannia, York
USA, Wisconsin, Menomonee Falls
USA, Wisconsin, Tomahawk
Australia, Adelaide
Brazil, Manaus
India, Bawal
Thailand, Rayong

Yet strangely the U.S Economy is ecstatically booming.... fancy that... :erm:

Recent CNBC POLL indicates 51% of Americans Approve of Trump's policies on the economy since taking office where only 36% disapprove. Everyone knows my views on polls but I thought it is 'interesting' polling, given this is a CNBC poll.

It's been booming before the trade war. If this continues you can expect the economy to take a hit.

How is borrowing doing? Has the booming economy compensated for the tax cuts?

So you don't like opinion polls but you like ones that you agree with and accentuate your beliefs.;)

Indeed in trades wars there are no winners but only losers in my view.

It was not booming to the degree it is now. Millions of jobs added, record job increases for blacks and Hispanics and women. Lots of Obama era policies reversed that stifled industries that are now seeing revival in the Rust belt.

I meant the current growth of the economy has been prior to any trade war and if one were to occur then it might be impacted.

However the economy is growing about the same as before. It's been between 2-3% for several years now. https://data.worldbank.org/indicator...=US&start=2000
