Trump encourages boycott of Harley Davidson.

[Kosh]

U.S. goods and services trade with the EU totaled nearly $1.1 trillion in 2016. Exports totaled $501 billion; Imports totaled $592 billion. The U.S. goods and services trade deficit with the EU was $92 billion in 2016.

No mention of tariffs there.

Yes far left drone do you understand how the deficit was created?

See the far left obviously thinks the tariffs were fair..

 

[protectionist]

WHERE (to what country) is Harley Davidson moving its production to ?

 

[McRocket]

Prove it.

You've heard of GOOGLE, haven't you?
European Union | United States Trade Representative

You made the claim pal...it's up to you to prove it, not me to disprove it.

And your link mentions nothing about tariff differences.

You said (matter or factly): 'The tariffs on us is higher than the tariffs on them. Is that simple enough for you to understand?'

If you are SO certain of what you said - than surely you have ready access to the source of your information.

So...where is your link to backup your above assertion?

I am thinking you just made it up.

Try reading the first fucking line in the link, idiot.

I take it reading comprehension is not your strong suit.

Here is the first line from your link (though there is no mention of 'fucking' - as you stated):
'U.S. goods and services trade with the EU totaled nearly $1.1 trillion in 2016. Exports totaled $501 billion; Imports totaled $592 billion. The U.S. goods and services trade deficit with the EU was $92 billion in 2016.'

Where EXACTLY in that line does it mention ANYTHING about tariffs?

Surely, you realize that trade deficits often occur even when tariffs are equal between countries?


Your earlier post said: ''The tariffs on us is higher than the tariffs on them. Is that simple enough for you to understand?''

I shall ask you for the third time...where is your link to unbiased, factual proof that EU tariffs on American imports are higher than US tariffs on EU imports?

Far left drone that information has already been provided from the government website that tracks all this stuff:

U.S. goods and services trade with the EU totaled nearly $1.1 trillion in 2016. Exports totaled $501 billion; Imports totaled $592 billion. The U.S. goods and services trade deficit with the EU was $92 billion in 2016.

This is why the far left always fails, they can never accept factual information over their debunked far left religious dogma.

Wow...I am beginning to think you people do not even know what a tariff is.

Okay...let's start at the beginning.

- A TRADE DEFICIT IS NOT A TRADE TARIFF.
- YOU CAN HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH A NATION THAT YOU HAVE THE SAME TARIFF LEVEL WITH.

I suggest you learn about macroeconomics before you comment on it.


(Jeez...someone save us all from these Macroeconomic ignoramuses)

And BTW - I am neither a Dem or a Rep.

See the far left obviously thinks the tariffs were fair..

You do realize that trade deficits happen WITHOUT differences in tariffs? Differences like regulations, wages, laws, production quality, product popularity/demand, currency fluctuations, etc..

There is lots of talk from the Trump administration these days about how the U.S. is getting cheated on trade. In this context, they have done some cherry-picking of the data to emphasize high foreign tariffs, while conveniently ignoring high U.S. tariffs. For example, Trump will mention a 270% Canadian tariff on dairy products, without mentioning U.S. tariffs of up to 187% on sour cream. Or White House trade adviser Peter Navarro will mention EU auto tariffs of 10% and argue that those are much higher than the 2.5% tariffs for car imports to the U.S, but he won’t mention the 25% U.S. tariff on truck imports.
