US cars not selling abroad - it'snot because of tariffs. It's the cars.

This people don't understand about Americans, they just like to talk, MADE IN AMERICA is not just a group of wards, is employees and, money in the country.

[harrygmattin]

I'm British and I really hope we can have low reciprocal tariffs with you after we leave the EU. I totally understand why Trump is doing this to the EU though. God they are so hypocritical. The EU must be the worst institution for protectionism in the world!

[silentmajority]

People, if there isn't going to be fair trade. we can make it just fine on our own... Do the research instead of listening to these know it all's.

Trump: Its a nice day out today. Democrats: It rained yesterday and its going to rain tomorrow

[aulorenzo]

The focus should be on the other countries. Europe has a 10% tariff on our cars, we have a 2.5% tariff on their cars. Its the same w/ 100 different products. Please tell me what’s fair about that? Why can’t the U.S. expect the the same tariff from other countries that we have on them?

[sandygreco]

Just leveling the playing field and this should have happened a long time ago. Trump is going to do great. He is going to turn that trade deficit around quickly.

Get it DUN PRESIDENT. all these crybabies has a huge amount of money invested in foreign steel and other things like auto Corp.

[joshuastevens]

It's about National Security. If we don't have steel we can't defend ourselves.

I remember before nafta working at the cotton mill. We had shirt factories where some of my friends worked. It paid the bills. We used to make things. America has everything it needs within our own borders.

[piknick]

I'm not a fan of tariffs (it's a tax) but I don't like how other countries do it to us and when we complain of trade deficit they whine??

[barbiejw]

Wow! What cowards! And by the way, our allies need us much more than we need them!

[charlysteenstevens]

It's June now. Just recently the election in Italy went to the conservatives, Slovenia as well. Austria, Hungary and Poland are outspokenly Right, defying the EU. We have friends, and we need to be friends to them as they in their turn are fighting the good fight with the EU.

[robertoviana]

President Trump is doing the right thing. Some countries charge 100% tariffs on Harley Davidsons, doubling the price of US Products overseas, making it impossible for us to sell overseas.

[pengfu]

I don't think the Europeans don't buy American cars due to tariff. They do not buy them because they don't like our cars.

[paulrock]

I've always thought we need to level the playing field with imports/exports.

[modaternasser]

American Dominance at its finest, American pride world wide

the only thing that is imbalance is trumps common sense

The Lady in red likes to hear herself talking. :-)
POTUS & Team = MAGA

[icebergrose]

Why would you buy an American car when you can get a German one? Make stuff people want.
