We have more news on the trade war front today, with the latest fallout hitting American cultural mainstay and premiere motorcycle manufacturer Harley Davidson.

The company announced that it will be shifting production capacity to the European market in direct response to the latest round of tariffs imposed by the EU. Those 31% tariffs were themselves a response to the imposition of various tariffs by the Trump Administration.

Tariffs at that level will increase the cost per motorcycle sold in Europe by more than $2000. Harley is not happy about the situation, and their spokesman noted that “expanding international production to alleviate the EU tariff burden is not our preference, but it’s the only sustainable option we have to make motorcycles available and affordable to EU customers.”.

The tariffs coming out of the White House have been on products such as aluminum and steel, but those effected have responded by levying their tariffs on a variety of American products produced in states critical to the Trump electorial college victory in the 2016 election. Harley is based in Wisconsin.

The company had already been seeking to locate production in areas with sales growth and cutting back on factories in areas of lagging sales. In the US, the company has seen sales declines as its riders age out of the market.
