And you’re most likely opposed to the manufacturing jobs that are sustained by having the armored cars (aka “Tank Vehicles”) produced in the US as opposed to say France, Russia, India or any number of other countries with well developed defense industries.

"...U.N. armored vehicles ...produced in the U.S...."

Whoa, you jumped to conclusions in your post.

These vehicles are not necessarily "produced" in our country. Most unaware Americans would be shocked at the fact that our domestic vehicle manufacturers purchase parts and then assemble popular models and various military/law enforcement vehicles in foreign countries and import them to the U.S. to finish them off and sell them here.

For example: the 2015 Ford Fiesta was built in Mexico with 15% of the parts coming from the U.S. and Canada and 60% from Mexico.

Example: the 2015 Chevrolet Camarro is a "product" of Detroit-based GM and sports an image of "All-American" but it's built in Canada.

Example: the Jeep sounds as American as it comes, but the corporation is registered in the Netherlands and its corporate headquarters is in London.

I could go on and on, but further information on the so-called "American" car industry can easily be found utilizing your computer's search engines.

In short, I have a picture of the globalist U.N. creating significant auto manufacturing jobs to any extent in our country. NOT! All the U.N. creates is globalist propaganda and obfuscation. To his everlasting credit, GOP candidate Mr. Trump (and the ONLY candidate) has a good handle on this almost unknown part of international trade and the labyrinth of deals going on that are harmful to our economy.

To sum up....no one knows where these U.N. armored vehicles and parts were manufactured or assembled or finished off, or how many jobs they created....and you can bet our America-last administration or the globalist auto-industry fat cats will never tell us.
