A blue blood American company that Trump referenced multiple times on the campaign trail (and while in office) that he will help make "great again", that has publicly stated the decision to move was because of the tariffs, yes.

Yeah, I can agree with that point.

 

It also may turn out to be a bad decision by HD.....

I'm sure they knew there might be backlash. They probably feel there wasn't a choice. Or maybe they wanted to do it all along and this was a good excuse.

And if HD suffers, then you were right.  Even if we disagree on whether tariffs are good or bad for America.

 

Which brings us back to the point, many pundits that warned of this were right :)

If it were happening in mass, I might be inclined to agree.  But it's not and the economy remains strong.

 

The tariffs are too new to know consequences.  And if the consequences are severe, Trump will be one and done.

Polaris Industries considers moving output overseas

A Minnesota-based company says it's considering moving production of some motorcycles out of the country because of European tariffs, just days after Harley-Davidson announced a similar move.
   
A spokeswoman for Polaris Industries acknowledged Friday the company could move some production of its Indian brand of motorcycles from northwest Iowa to Poland.
   
Spokeswoman Jess Rogers noted "nothing is definitive. We're looking at a range of mitigation plans."

Brazil will out produce the US in soybeans for the first time this year.

 

Brazilian transportation infrastructure and product quality has made this possible.

Do you know the one sector that's totally thriving right now? More jobs and careers than they can fill for years to come?

 

Healthcare.

 

That's great for the job numbers, but it doesn't take much digging to see how the flow of money into healthcare, the weakening of more productive sectors, and the gutting of medicare and medicaid could create a really ugly scenario.

So....you’re saying that these countries will simply have another country to buy from .....this either screwing the American farmer or we spend billions propping our farmers up....or probably both. 

 

Such a graat tactic.

Just thinking out loud, but healthcare is one of the issues that I wonder if the real answer might be tort reform.

China has been increasing their Brazilian soybean imports for almost a decade.

 

Tariff issues aside.....there's always a market for the best product.  And Brazilian soybeans are considered the world's best.
