So you thought other countries would just take these tariffs without retaliation? The EU even openly communicated what their reaction would be. Also if they don't move their production their products will become much more expensive which means that they are of shitty quality and even more overpriced.

Yeah, I never said that. You'd have to expect some pushback. We're going to have a temporary period of uncertainty and friction just like with China, but in the end the US with its stronger negotiating hand will be able to achieve some kind of long-term improvement in trade.

Granted, I think it's tough to know whether this is a matter of days/weeks/months, so a struggling corporation might get a bit nervous. But in what I've read about this Harley has been looking for an excuse to move some production out of the US for a while. I think Trump knows a lot more about this business than people think and his series of tweets might be dead on.

But the USA doesn't have the stronger negotiation hand. You started this trade war with china, the EU, Canada and many others at the same time. Also you have sanctions up on Russia, Iran, etc. And Trump is universally hatet by nearly every other nation, every politician from these countries that want's to give in commits political suicide. I find it a bit disturbing that you take the word of Trump for granted and cut all logical thinking off.
