It’s not just China and Mexico that are taking US jobs… Now, thanks to Barack Obama, Cuba will be building American tractors.
Cleber Tractors is building a tractor plant in Cuba.
USA Today reported:
The Obama administration approved the first U.S. factory to be built and operated in Cuba in more than 50 years, in the latest sign of the rapidly changing relationship between the United States and the communist nation.
Cleber LLC, an Alabama-based company that builds tractors for small farms, was notified by the Treasury Department that it could open a facility in Cuba. Co-founder Saul Berenthal said the company’s attorney was in Havana on Monday to start the lengthy process of finalizing the agreement with the Cuban government and hopes to start production by early 2017.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
the law of unintended consequences strikes again.
Furious...just furious....
Fast and Furious...
Shovel ready jobs
These are tractors for a small market for sale in Cuba, not tractors that are normally sold and built in the US.
For all of the 39 people that can afford them?
No market for tractors in Cuba. Have plenty of oxes.
My dad and uncle rebuild tractors for sale of sizes but I doubt they ever fool with anything like that.
Being a farmer myself that looks like your typical commie POS tractor, void of any safety features advanced technology and suffers from poor power to weight ratio and sucky fuel economy.
Another sign that God supports Trump for president.
After the facility is built and up and running, how long will it take Cuba to “nationalize” the company...Remove all US ownership and sell to socialist countries around the world?
Yeah but what if you put a Hemi engine on it. Be burning up the corn fields.
Oh, then that makes it okay!!! /s
Well, when they reach the end of their useful life, there’s oxtail soup...I guess it’s a bit more palatable than horse.
But given the state of that country, I’m sure they wouldn’t turn down horse either.
It’s not green.
Typical Bay Area Commies.
They **ripped off** another company for the design - and have the balls to use the other companies tractor in the films pimping the Cuban factory. Grraaahhh.
