Industry News: Trump's Tariff Threat Turned Out To Be A Farce


Recommended Posts

The tariffs that Trump had threatened to impose on Mexico starting June 10th will not be going on to effect.  Trump tweeted out that Mexico had made concessions to deploy their newly formed Nation Guard to their own southern border and that it only took two days for Mexico to bend to Trump's demands.   This is false.

The truth, according to a report in the New York Times is that Mexico had already agreed to do that back in March 2019 during secret talks between the (at the time) Director of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen and the Mexican Secretary of Interior Olga Sanchez. Further, Trump claimed a victory via his tariff efforts saying that he had reached an agreement that Mexico would hold more asylum-seekers on the Mexican side of the border while the U.S. processes their cases.  The timing of this is also false.  The agreement was already reached at the same meeting in March.   Where Trump failed was in getting Mexico to accept a "Safe Third Country" treaty that would have given the U.S. the ability to reject asylum seekers if they had not first sought asylum in Mexico. 

In opposition to the tariffs was many Senators from Trump's own party, including the Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell who said, "There is not much support in my conference for tariffs, that's for sure". Many in the GOP were whispering that the Senate was going to pass a resolution disapproving of the tariffs, causing embarrassment for Trump and making him look weak.  Most likely that whispering got to Trump himself and so then he laid claim to the previously agreed "concessions" from Mexico in order to save face and drop the tariff while claiming victory. 

Many business leaders too were calling for relief from the tariffs, the auto industry would have been hit especially hard with a significant number of components passing over the border multiple times.  

Below is a list of vehicles that are currently assembled in Mexico for U.S. consumption:

What 😮 Trump did his own FAKE News? Shocker :lol:

This goes along with the statement that Mexico also said was FALSE, Trump's claim that Mexico was going to buy immediately a ton of US produce. Which would drive an increase in truck sales to move it. Yet again not happening.

At least for now, this Tariff thing is over with Mexico and we can move on with our focus on work and life. :gmc:Truckin since it sounds better than SUVin, lol :P

They have CNBC on here at work and they keep talking about how great of a negotiator Trump was and how we avoided the tariffs.  Easy to "avoid" tariffs when the solution to them was already agreed to 3 months ago.

And you can let go of the blindness. There were reports months ago regarding Mexico beefing up support at the southern border and were keeping more folks back. Detentions were up months ago as well. Don’t get sour at everyone else just because you were fooled by the man behind the curtain. Remember. The truth isn’t the truth. From your favorite source of news.

Offer something of substance @ocnblu because while you “laugh” at the post of others, those others are clearly laughing at you and those obvious partisan blinders. Maybe getting off your knees and wiping your mouth off would be better than swallowing every ounce of Trumps lies and nonsense. Not holding my breath but one can always hope that you actually want to discuss matters of importance instead of trolling the discussion nonstop and serving up snide and unrelated comments with the goal of basically insulting anyone who dares to point out the endless steam of bull$h! coming out of Trumps mouth.

 

You’d think his supporters would get tired of the snowballing quite honestly.

At the risk of getting banned or worse, both Obama and Trump should be looked at as war criminals. Zero respect for the office of the president as a post world war two institution. Absolutely zero.

I feel the same way about Kennedy, Truman, Reagan, Clinton, Both Bushes.

Feel the same way about Joe Biden.

Any hope for decency or leadership out of the white house is a fools errand IMHO.

Washington is pretty much the absolute bottom of the moral Universe.

Kind of a pathetic list, Beetle is cancelled, Golf production is being cut way back, Yaris is a pathetic car that sells in small numbers, Versa and Versa note are penalty boxes extraordinaire,  A class is unimpressive, Accent is also a penalty box, Cruze and fusion were discontinued because GMa nd Ford couldn't figure out how to build them profitably, Fiat 500 is one of the most miserable vehicles built, and at the bottom of even this list....

And the QX 50 has to be one of the least attractive modern vehicles.

Blazer is way over priced for what it is...seriously.

Given the problems all of my friends seem to be experiencing with Rams...Build the few performance Golf models in Germany to sell in small numbers here....and pretty much crap can the entire list.

To end on a positive note...neat video with a cool old Ford truck....back to cars.

Which has not one thing to do with what I said in my post. What is in my signature is merely my thoughts on a particular subset of folks and is not about anyone here. Why you think that relates to what I said is beyond me. Now if you just happen to be part of that subset of folks, then so be it but my creation of it has squat to do with you. You think too highly of yourself if you actually think that.

We need to discuss actual ideas and actual policies. If we re open politics. we could limit it to actual discussion of how political actions affect the auto industry. 

For instance, how many vendors in Mexico would have been affected had the tariffs actually gone into effect?

True but again, I was speaking in general terms. I tend to tune out the extremist posts because it tends to be devoid of actual facts and isn’t based on reality (more like it supports a certain idealism mindset). I have family members that deal with life that way and I do not deal with life that way so we just don’t see eye to eye on political and social matters. If extends to the internet community as well. Too much “radicalized” thinking with no room for moderate compromise mindset for my taste.

Alt-Right or Alt-Left or Centrist, who cares if they are looking to make things better for the whole rather than the one!

Sadly we have leadership that I believe is too focused on the one and as I posted above on todays story about Trumps Protectionist approach to deal making, in the long term, this is going to HURT America!

He seems to have a to hell with the Constitution and the freedoms our soldiers have fought for here over his own image and personal agenda that helps the less than 1% like the Koch brothers.

These two stories seem to support that feeling of protect the 1% and to heck with the rest.

Either killing children is morally wrong or it isn't. Article in my news feed made me want to throw up this morning...two teenage girls were adopting pets, and then posting selfies of them torturing the pets to death, shooting the pets, mutilating them.  We look at these girls as unfit for decent society.

But when the Obama administration gives weapons and aid to rebels in Syria that behead a  12 year old boy as an apostate...or the Bush, Obama, and Trump administrations kill civilians (including children en masse) with drones....(Obama more than Bush, Trump more than Obama....) or we give a hotbed of Islamic radicalism 3 billion dollars in aid a year (Pakistan) or the apartheid country of Israel 4 billion in aid a year (killing journalists, aid workers, and children) or give the radical Saudis nuclear weapons technology...or give the radical government in Egypt Billions in aid...

Methinks we should worry a lot more about what Washington does to actual people...it's much more morally wrong than what these girls did.

The list is really, really long.

Testing nuclear weapons with soldiers/Sailors on nearby ships like our government did after world war two...not giving aid and medical care (proper aid and medical care, and counseling) to our veterans would be another. How many veterans commit suicide every day....pretty high number...

Back to looking at GTO pics.

Washington really sucks.

Benghazi was bad...but taking out Gaddafi  was worse. ISIS was not in Libya before we did that. We have zero remorse for the pain we inflict on others.

While I agree with your statement above in general, calling Israel apartheid country is simply wrong and incorrect use of the word.  Blaming them for death of fake journalists or aid workers is not truthful either.  Also, it was proven time and time again that Hamas doctored and faked death of the children during last few conflicts.

I don't feel a lot of sympathy for either side. Will happily debate you on this if the politics section gets re opened.

Hamas is also killing children without a whole lot of remorse....go back to my original comment above about how killing children is immoral.  It is immoral to have someone step onto a  bus with bombs strapped to their chest and ball bearings laced with rat poison (to kill the maximum number of people possible.) Hamas had no problem with this....or with other atrocities.

Hamas is beneath contempt.  I totally denounce Hamas. Hezbollah is not real high on my list of favorites either, nor is Boko Haram. 

I would be in favor of pulling both humanitarian aid to the Palestinians (they voluntarily voted to have Hamas represent them) and aid to the Israelis.

For what it is worth...I do not believe in foreign aid to anybody other than brief humanitarian aid in a  time of crisis...food, blankets, medical supplies and the like. I would feel the same way about  Canada as I do about Israel...or Pakistan....and the same way about Finland for that matter.

The atrocities of Israel and Hamas are both well documented. Norman Finkelstein and Noam Chomsky are both Jewish and fairly rational on this matter....IIRC Finkelstein's parents were both killed in the Holocaust...they might be worth a good read.

I know about them and being jewish has nothing to do with being objective or truthful on Israel or jews in general.  

These images are everything you need to know how Hamas conducts its conflict and than Israel get blamed for the death of innocents by the West.

I personally might not be impartial on the subject but I see how so many things gets twisted by the world media that just playes into the extremists hands.  Not just with Hamas or Hezbollah.

In any case, I don't want to derail the thread, I just can't stay silent on the subject.

I think 100 is the baseline of 1827.   So 'VIII Trumps Tarriffs' is roughly 30% of the 1827 level, 'Smoot-Hawley' just under 50%, etc.

Ohhh...no, I don't want to see you stay quiet on  the subject...like I said...Hamas is a terrorist organization. No debate from me on that.

At any rate...initiating conflict with a nuclear power when all you have are grenade launchers and small rockets is astonishingly stupid on the part of Hamas.
