Is there more to this than the chicken tax preventing imported trucks?
- Barrin92 5y agoYes, a 45% tax on motorcycles (to save Harley Davidson[1]), a flat limit on the number of cars that could be imported to the United States, and later a 100% tariff on the Japanese electronics industry[2], among a few other things.
