Take some time and read the whole thing. It's a good lesson in trade tactics and how bad the EU and Canada is, but also how bad OUR OWN trade reps have been over the years. Also, watch the video of a Canadian Economic Professor as he explains how screwed the Canadian economy will be if President Trump flips the auto's from "made in Canada" to made in our Mid-West.

As an Albertan in Western Canada, I say bring the pain! I love it. Ultimately, it will lower my cost of living, and I don’t care where they’re made. I’m actually boycotting made in Canada right now and only buying made in USA because I don’t support my retarded government and Trump has been doing a phenomenal job. God bless you President Trump.

Yup, Germany, without consulting with Emmanuel from France, just unilaterally announce the EU is willing to drop all trade tariffs against U.S. auto manufacturers as part of their strategy to fend-off steel, aluminum and crushing auto tariffs.

I think this is more along the lines of calling Trump's bluff. Germany is willing to drop all tariffs on U.S. cars if the U.S. is willing to drop all tariffs on imported cars. Right now Detroit enjoys a 25% tariff on imported trucks and vans and a 2.5% tariff on imported cars. Dropping that will not make them happy.

So much precious American money and goods already lost. Trump has been on overdrive making up for lost time/money/power.

Watch the videos and you will quickly learn what amateurs Trump and his henchman (and women) are up against. It’s like the 1985 Chicago Bears vs. the JayVee team LOL!

Yet Trump still has disapproval ratings in the high 50% because Americans are weak and soft. They can’t see all the good Trump is doing for their economy and country. No they’re all upset over Trump becuase he’s “mean to migrant children, a racist, a xenophobe, a sexist, he wants walls not bridges...blah, blah, blah”. Americans don’t even want a country anymore. The want that Socialist utopia the left promises but can never be.

We don’t desrve a country and certainly don’t deserve a fighter like Trump.

Sad.

It’s a symbolic victory. Germans, like Japanese, don’t buy very many American autos. Germans and Japanese don’t drive big pickup trucks and don’t drive many SUV’s. Germans and Japanese do buy a number of Jeeps, Mustangs, Challengers, Chargers, Corvettes, Camaros, and Cadillacs every year. The number of Toyotas, Hondas, Nissans, BMWs, Mercedes Benzes and Audis dwarfs it though because the US is a far bigger market than either of those two. There is nothing that can be done. You cannot hold a gun to Japanese and Germans and force them to buy our cars and trucks. The US will not be able to correct it’s deficit in autos anytime soon other than to encourage the foreign companies to build plants here, which is what I suspect Trump’s REAL goal is.

Germany alone cannot do this. This must be approved by The Council of the European Union or EU for short. Individual members of the EU cannot impose or lift tariffs.
