Actually, the growth trend over in Europe and the sluggish demand in US was already a feature well before H-D decided to move production overseas. And that overseas move itself was a result of this trend, not because of Trump’s tariffs. When H-D claims that the tariffs are the reason, they are being disingenuous.
Of course, this article riffing on this years-long trend as if it just started appears to be blatant pro-Trump propaganda.
DING! DING! DING!
We have a winner!
HD had already discussed moving more of their production overseas BEFORE the tariffs! This is just HD trying to push off their poor sales and bad business models onto Trump.
