>>28504182>Tariffs vary by country, and there are some with very low tariffs. Of course building in the USA means zero tariff. Something to consider.Why "very low" and not zero? Why even countries that have a trade surplus got hit? Why do you seem to believe moving production to the US is an instantaneous, zero cost operation? Why are you so sure that producing in the US and paying US wages will result in lower prices than just producing shit in whatever third world country is cheapest and slapping the tariff costs on top? Or just brazenly lying about making shit in America like Trump is doing with his golden phone?
>I said banned, because I meant banned, like Japan banning American rice to protect their farmers. Most nations have laws like these of one sort or another. If they're right to do it against us then we're right to do it in return.Targeted bans are different from blanket tariffs on everything. Also I'm guessing a lot of these bans are because American products do not meet safety standards in other countries, which happens often. Again, make better products.
>Yes the parts will be tariffed, unless of course you move your auto supplier company to the USAYes man let's just move supply chains that have taken decades to build to America over a policy change that will be long gone before the move is even halfway past the planning phase. Here's what's really gonna happen: companies are just gonna pass the tariffs cost onto the consumer, do some grandstanding about how thing is made in America just because the packaging is done in the US, everyone else will raise their prices to match, and you will eat it up saying "it costs more but man, you can FEEL the increase in quality now that it's made by real 'merican patriots" while it is the same made in Bangladesh garbage it always was.
>Germany does a 10% import duty and a 19% VAT for cars produced in the US.Germany does duty and VAT on everything. Just like everyone else. Just like the US. That's not a tariff.
