Trump has said if the Chinese build a plant in Mexico he'll just tariff it up and BYD are kind of non confrontational so that's probably not happening till the next presidency.
- diego_moita 2y ago> he'll just tariff it up Yes, he will tariff up everything. But after a while, the average Joe will understand what the word "tariff" means. And then Joe won't be happy and the midterm elections will come.
- drivingmenuts 2y agoIt would be hilarious if he did that and BYD said "Go for it" and they just sold cars everywhere except the US. Extra points if they never had any intention of selling those cars in the US. Extra extra points if they bought out plants manufacturing parts for American cars and just stopped doing that and made BYD parts for BYD cars not being sold in the US. In other words, proceed as if the US was completely irrelevant to their plans.

- drivingmenuts 2y agoSure, but Trump hates the EU, so do it anyway. If BYD built a few plants in the EU for making premium vehicles, they could probably massage that tariff situation a bit. The point is to ignore the US and just work around it. I certainly would if I were in charge of a multi-national corporation outside the US.
