While the White House and the world’s financial markets are focused on tariff negotiations with countries caught up in Trump’s trade war, businesses across the U.S. are already feeling the pinch of the duties. japantimes.co.jp/business/2025 #business #donaldtrump #us #trade

The Japan Times · Trump’s tariff policies are hurting the businesses he’s trying to helpBy Enda Curran

Lets face it, if Trump was really interested in understanding why US car manufacturers don't do well in export markets he might compare the size of the favoured vehicles in the US (massive pick-up trucks & SUVs), with the size of streets/roads in Europe & elsewhere.

Having once seen a Hummer trying to navigate the streets of Rome, its no surprise to me few people want big US vehicles....

Of course, he might then argue that Europe's of Asia'a roads are a Non-Tariff Barrier....
