    All hail the Donald

    ooh look what happened!

    https://www.reuters.com/business/aut...ay-2025-03-03/

    TOKYO, March 3 (Reuters) - Honda has decided to produce its next-generation Civic hybrid in the U.S. state of Indiana, instead of Mexico, to avoid potential tariffs on one of its top-selling car models, according to three people familiar with the matter.
    The change underscores how manufacturers are scrambling to adapt to U.S. President Donald Trump's proposed 25% tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada. While several automakers have expressed concerns about the levies, Honda's move is the first concrete measure by a major Japanese car company.

      Its odd you rebel against a strong leader that wants to put the workers of his country first. Wait till The Nige our PM in waiting is elected.

          Is it also reported in the Dail Fail? He won't believe it otherwise.

            maybe the FT or Bloomberg. Though from Reuters it does seem to have worked.

                  It can only be said to have "worked" if over the next few years the US economy booms and unemployment falls.
                  Too subtle then?

                  It is a brave strategy I suspect it will radically change the economy. For the Americans I hope in a good way. Onshoring with Tariffs may work better than offshoring with job losses which is what we have done for the last 60 years.

                  Combine that with DOGE and deporting the illegals there may be enough of a workforce to pay the bills.

                  But like "Gaza Lago" and "operation NATO get their finger out" in Ukraine it seems to be bearing fruit.

                    But no. Apparently, he has a subtle plan...
                    Because of course other world leaders are doing so well.
