With a minimum of googling, it seems that Honda already makes this vehicle in both the U.S. and Canada. They appear to be adding shifts to the U.S. to boost production 30% while lowering it elsewhere. So "Yay" I guess. It's one of the few situations where the tariffs can work short term. In most cases, shifting production from another country to the U.S. is a multi-year investment that tariffs won't significantly impact because they are changing too often to drive such long-term decisions.

Hopefully Canada slaps a tarriffs on companies that relocate production.

When people refer to "tariffs," they're talking about when a country puts a tax on imports coming from a particular country. Are you saying Canada should tax Honda specifically (and not, for example, other car manufacturers like Toyota)?

[Pet_Ant]

Yes, tax Honda specifically. I mean, it can't just tax Honda specifically as a "bill of attainder" issue, so it'd need to be phrased as something like "companies whose production has been deemed transferred due to foreign tarrifs".

This. That's so stupid, what once each and every country has tariffs ?

That... is broadly already the case, with a few exceptions in central Africa.

It's funny how many people think the US is doing something new, and not just catching up with the rest of the world.

[bryanlarsen]

The western world's average tariff rate is generally around 1.5%. Increasing this by an order of magnitude is something new, and a lot more than "catching up".

[kalleboo]

There's no "catching up", the US also already had tariffs inline with other developed nations.

Catching up? They are regressing to the level of "the rest of the world". Do you think the USA isn't the best nation on Earth?
