Almost everything Trump says is bravado and trying to demean ‘the others’ whoever they are…immigrants, Chinese, Muslims…insert non-white group name here. As far as 100% tariff, he’s going to do it just as soon as Mexico pays for his wall

You are very naïve. 1. EVs are worse for the environment and no body is buying them. 2. AMLO decided to take advantage of a demented patient in the WH, the old sheriff is coming back next year. AMLO got a little to cute, unfortunately for Mexico, the people will suffer as these type of manufacturing prospects will die. How many pesos went to get the Chinese auto manufacturers to open in Mexico? All down the drain.

Absolutely. And BTW the “bloodbath” comment was first made by the Chief Executive of a Chinese electric car company. Good for MNC getting it right while the incompetent and highly biased corporate media of the U.S. continue to blare out the lie.

China achieves dominance through economic warfare. They discount their stuff until the domestic competition is driven out of business and then they dominate and eventually control your economy. The U.S. is in profound political, social and moral decline and Mexico needs to reduce its dependence on them. However, replacing that dependence with economic servitude to the Chinese is very much like jumping from the frying pan into the fire.

Bravo MND for getting the headline correct. The media here has made a “bloodbath” out of it.

Tariffs never work. We tariff them they tarrif us. As an admittedly exaggerated example, check out the 1930 Smoot-Hawley act and what resulted. We already favor (some) US EVs with rebates for home grown batteries. Let us decide how we want to spend our cash. GM builds the Chevrolet Onix in China for sale in Mexico and other Latin American countries. Like it or not it’s still a Global economy. Be careful what you wish for.

For the last 30 years all the major stores in the USA and Canada have supported a communist China. It enabled China to become a superpower that now threatens every democratic society in the world and we deserve what is coming. I doubt very much that what the governments of Canada and the USA did not know this was going to happen. Corporate America sold us down the river!Trumps 100% proposed duty will only go to their coffers, It also makes little sense that they put this on Chinese electric car makers when the Trump campaign is saying drill drill. Instead of a tariff make China put in a charging station for every electric car they sell in the USA and they are also responsible for maintenance and fined if repairs are not immediate.
Mexico is a neutral country, inviting Russian and Chinese to set up shop here is great for the Mexican economy and its own security. I am much happier and not as worried as I once was living north of the border.
