(31.15) Harley-Davidson leaves the United States, trumps anger
Harley-Davidson, a multinational motorcycle manufacturer based in the United States, has announced to bring some of its factories out of its own country. The company has decided to avoid the European Union's import duty after the trump trade war. And their anger has been expressed by Trump
Trump said in a post on Twitter, "I was surprised that Harley-Davidson was the first to lose. We have fought a lot for them. At the end of the European market, they did not have to pay import duty. Their decision will hurt America's trade. It will cost $ 15 billion and $ 100 million. The tariff is an excuse. Harley, be patient. '
Trump administration imposes 10 percent duty on import of aluminum and 25 percent for import of steel from European Union, Canada and Mexico in early June 2014. This duty was imposed on the United States' close allies by talking about protecting domestic art. In response, the European Union announced last week the import duty on various US goods. These products include Harley Motorcycles. After that Harley-Davidson announced to take out some of its factories outside the United States.
Following the footsteps of European Union, Canada and Mexico have already announced the import duty on various US goods.
Meanwhile, White House Press Secretary Sarah Hookaby Sanders claimed that the European Union is trying to punish US workers through unjustified and discriminatory trade policies.
Trump will continue its efforts to mutually equitable trade, said Sarah Hookabi Sanders.
