Trump Says EU Tariffs on Motorcycles Are 'So Unfair'
President Donald Trump threatened, in a tweet April 23, to match European Union tariffs on motorcycles, as he reacted to Harley-Davidson corporate earnings news. He wrote: "Harley Davidson has struggled with Tariffs with the EU, currently paying 31%. They’ve had to move production overseas to try and offset some of that Tariff that they’ve been hit with which will rise to 66% in June of 2021. So unfair to U.S. We will Reciprocate!" As free-trade advocates noted on Twitter, the EU tariff is one of the tariffs that was raised because of the U.S.'s Section 232 tariffs on aluminum and steel.
