That could cause Governor Scott Walker to lose Wisconsin in 2018 (not his fault) and Trump to lose Wisconsin in 2020. President Trump practically needs Governor Walker to have a chance in Wisconsin.

And those jobs likely won't come back once the tariff war ends. Harley was suffering from overcapacity even before this tariff mess, which was why it was closing its Kansas City plant. Not only that, but Europe had been where its sales had been growing. Even without tariffs raising prices, HOG has to worry that those customers abandon them for other brands anyway.

Another win for American manufacturing and business - It's almost too much to take!

All part of Trump's master plan. Fewer jobs in heavily Democratic cities like Kansas City and Milwaukee means less population in Kansas City and Milwaukee, and making those states safe(r) Republican.

Now, if jobs were being lost in Waukesha, that would be another matter.

So much winning!

But I thought the Trump\Sanders people are right about how America needs to be more protectionist and all the economists are wrong

Obama's at it again. Why can't that Kenyan Muslim Communist terrorist ever leave us honest, hard-working Americans alone?

It's a pity that they can't move the consumption of their motorcycles overseas as well.

It would be really nice to keep the production and export the consumption.

This part is true, though.

I know that I am getting tired of it.

Ernest touched on it, but Trump's tariffs, or rather the retaliation for them, was just a pretext for what HD desperately wanted to do all along, shift production to their overseas plants.

The flip side of that is to say that the previous policy gave the company incentive to keep the jobs in the U.S.

This isn't even the first time the EU targeted Harley-Davidson for tariffs. At some point they have to take into their planning that they are considered a strategic company to punish.

[BudgieForce]

Harley-Davidson was already doing badly before the tariffs. With the tariffs, I'm worried they might not survive.

[libertpaulian]

Baldwin and Evers would be world-class morons if they don't use this news to their advantage.

Dont worry...were in good hands:

Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart—you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you're a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?), but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.

Great, Trump said he's gonna bring back jobs. From a European perspective, he may keep his promises! Well done, Sir. Well done.

The jobs aren't being sent to Europe -- they're being sent to Asia where HD already has plants.

LOL!

The ironic aspect about this story is that the EU clearly knows where the swing states are and have targeted the Obama-Trump states, with talks of tariffs on soybeans to needle IA, as well as this focus on WI.
TL;DR: Hillary Clinton may not have focused on Wisconsin, but Jean Paul Juncker (Head of the EU Commision) sure will.

But muh businessman Trump is an economic geniuz!
