Ford and GM are justifiably upset, as the trade deal with Japan serves to buoy Japanese carmakers while putting American carmakers at a disadvantage.

The administration imposed a 25% tariff on foreign auto manufacturers in April, which also applies to cars made by American automakers from parts imported from Mexico and Canada.

Now, the administration is lowering the tariff for Japanese autos and auto parts to just 15%, meaning US automakers will face higher tariffs than Japanese automakers.

US automakers feel that any deal which charges a lower tariff for Japanese imports with virtually no US content than it does North American-built vehicles with high U.S. content is a bad deal for the US industry and US auto workers.

I support reasonable protectionism. The US government should look out for the home teams. Period.

I would like to bring the production of all cars and trucks made in Mexico and sold in the US.......to the US. If you sell it here, you build it here. The exceptions being very low volume models. To be more clear, all Freightliner, International and Volvo trucks sold in the US must be produced in the US. All trucks produced in that lawless abyss called Mexico must remain south of the border. Period. If the Europeans can't digest that, then they should sell the former US-owned truckmakers. I know some interested American investors.

Thanks for that. The entire matter is giving me a headache.

Back in February, there was much noise about the president and Elon Musk traveling to Fort Knox to see if the gold was actually still there. Rand Paul also stated serious doubts. 

And then............nothing. After weeks of noise, then not another word about it.

[mowerman]

OK, yes I remember that and I also remember there was no follow up information 

[mowerman]

At least gonna give this guy some credit for trying different things instead of filling the seat and cashing the checks, like most of them do

Its obviously more complex than that. Japanese brand cars made in Japan and shipped here represent not even 8% of the annual US auto market. Japanese brands have assembly in plants in Mexico that would be subject to the same 25% tariffs as domestic brands built in Mexico. Japanese brands assemble the majority of the cars they sell in the USA in US plants. My guess is the 15% tariff on imported cars assembled in Japan was a miniscule concession and/or compromise on the whole trade deal with Japan that most likely included many things.

Back in March, the president gave vehicle manufacturers a one month exemption if they were in compliance with the USMCA. From there.....25%.

Around 15% of US-sold Toyota models are assembled in Japan. About 10% for Honda. Most Lexus are produced in Japan. Over half of Mazda cars are built in Japan.

Simply put, tariffs against a country should be the same as the tariffs they impose against us

It's too bad the we dont have a Government in D.C. that has a majority of people who are 'America First'.. Too many are out for wealth and power for themselves. on both sides.. 

Say what you want to about Vladimir Putin.....  He is a real example of a leader and government that put's their Mother Country first.. Hell,,, even our Libtard news companies here in the States brag about Putin's love for ''Mother Russia''

 

 No need to post anything about me wanting a dictatorship that kills Americans.. I am not a fan of Putin, just his love for Country..

Isn't that how how the nickname TACO was coined?

Miniscule amounts in the overall American car market.

Trump's administration was negotiating with Japan, not vehicle manufacturers. I suspect the reduction from 25 to 15 was thrown in as a concession for something gained knowing it would have next to no impact on domestic OEM's competitiveness.  Your original statement was that Ford and GM were upset and claimed Japanese makers were buoyed. Perhaps. Maybe the Japanese created their own buoy when they increased the percentage of USA assembled/sold vehicles from 12% in 1986 to 80% today. Not to mention they produce a vastly superior product. Maybe Ford and GM can build a plant in Japan, pay 300-400% more for Japanese vs Mexican labor and get the 10% tariff reduction 😅. Or better yet maybe they should have never left. I have no sympathy for the Detroit big 3. It is lost on me how the Japanese can build an objectively superior car with American labor on American soil and never complain about anything. The only thing Detroit knows how to do well is cry foul about anything and everything. They need to figure out how to plan 10 years out, not just for the next quarterly earnings report. I have little to no opinion on any of the tariffs implemented in the last 6 months. My guess is when the pendulum swings back they will all be rolled back. Perhaps the actual, newly negotiated and signed trade deals will remain but I think the newly imposed blanket tariffs on all goods coming into the USA will be rescinded.

Trump To Balance Budget By Introducing Swear Jar For Dems

WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Trump unveiled his plan to balance the federal budget by introducing a nation-wide swear jar for the country's Democrats.

With potty-mouthed liberal cursing at an all-time high, the Congressional Budget Office estimated that at ten bucks per cuss, the swear jar will easily wipe out this year's projected $1.9 trillion deficit.

"It's an amazing plan, thought up by me, your favorite President," said Trump. "These Democrats, they have such filthy mouths, can you believe it? All they do is shout these terrible things on television and cry, boo-hoo. So now they will have to put money in a swear jar, and maybe the Democrats will finally do something good for America for once. I will keep making America great, they will keep cussing about it, and we can all watch the deficit go down. It's going to be so beautiful, believe me."

Stephen Colbert issued a response to Trump's announcement, but the Bee cannot print what he said, as we are a Christian establishment.

At publishing time, Democrats had announced they would still keep cussing as they were certain they were only a few 'F-bombs' away from stopping Trump once and for all.
