    Why don’t they just stick him in some back room with a stack of fake trade deal documents to sign?

    I’d imagine this has more to do with European automakers starting to go hard into Electric cars and those cars being significantly better than ‘Teslers’

    BYD, etc are still tariffed to be moon in USA, so European is the next best thing.

      US citizens pay the tariffs and their tax money compensates companies after next court ruling against tariffs.
      So no worries, none of your tax-robbing billionairs will be harmed.

    I’m pretty sure he has dementia & thus nothing he has done is legal or standing (by law). I’m not a doctor, but I cannot allow his decisions to be declared sane.

    Aside from it all being against everything a president is allowed to/ supposed to do, it is also very wet-brained.

    And BMW is the US largest exporter of vehicles. Maybe they will take their production elsewhere.

      Why? They produce in the US, they won’t have to pay tariffs AFAIK

      Not sure who this will even affect. Most foreign manufacturers selling in the US build those cars in the US.

        Doesn’t these tariffs include also car pieces / materials imported to the US before being used / integrated into the car?

        Car being composed from thousands of equipments manufactured outside the US, i can’t see how they can totally avoid US tariffs.
