USA Vehicle Disaster - Joe Blogs



In this video I talk about the recent Japan tariff deal announced by Donald Trump which will see a 15% tariff applied on all Japanese imports. This deal has caused major concerns from the USA car manufacturers as much of their production has been outsourced to Mexico and Canada and now faces tariffs of 25%. This means that for may of the USA branded vehicles the tariff is now 10% higher than vehicles imported from Japan and gives those vehicles a price advantage.

Cuba's autos are "stuck" in the 1940's and our car models will be stuck in the 2020's.

Haha.
I think those two things are mutually exclusive, unless Trump is committing fraud in the fine details.
