"Harley-Davidson plans to shift the production of some of its bikes out of the US in response to Europe’s new tariffs on motorcycle imports.
In a stock market filing, the company said the EU’s reaction to Donald Trump’s steel tariffs, which will add $2,200 (£1,657) to the average cost of a motorcycle exported from the US to Europe, will result in up to $100m of extra charges over the next couple of years.
To prevent further long-term damage to the company’s revenues, it said the production of motorcycles for EU destinations needs to switch from the US to its international facilities."

- robo still missing the point, which is that the tariffs are not producing the result intended. I guess since he's not into HD it's okay that the work is outsourmonospaced
