Americans should be buying American-made cars anyway.

I agree - American made cars like Kia, Hyundai, Toyota, Honda, BMW, Mercedes.

Not those Mexican Fords and Chinese made Buicks.

Mustangs and 911s each sell about 15,000 units in the EU, although it’s apples and oranges as the 911 costs twice as much as a Mustang. Mustangs there are even a bit cheaper than the BMW 4-series or the Audi A5.

“I don’t have recent numbers, but in 2016 Mustang outsold the Porsche 911 in Germany. GM was even selling a few Camaros at that point, without a Chevy dealer network.”

My comment was facetious, to make a point. Not to be taken literally.

According to this Ford is the sixth highest selling brand in Germany with 7% of the market.

Jeep and Tesla also on the list.

I doubt that he can “ban” German cars. but as obama threatened coal:

You can have one (a coal plant), but you will go bankrupt running it (???)

This is the dumbest article I’ve read in months. Why would Trump want to get rid of manufactures right here in the US? Only an idiot “reporter” would believe that.
