Little more movement on the home front. Hopefully we start seeing more to the west.

The missus and I just got back from scoping out vehicles at the local Mazda dealer. All of their line is made in either Japan or Mexico, except one model that is made in the US in a joint plant with Toyota. They have simply decided to stop importing it.

That's pretty funny, for a ballpark cost of about $250 all in in China, vs $1200 for fab only (maybe $1800 powder coated and painted), they would need what, 600, 700% tarriffs before it costs less to make in the US?
And if he's required to figure out shipment to a powder coat shop and packaging, even then probably easier to just get it made in China.
The minimum unit number is a big thing, but had to laugh at not being able to find someone that would do production engineering, fabrication powder coating and shipping, as those should all be pretty standard for anyone doing basic metal shop work that wants business outside their city.
Prime Minister Carney spoke with Trump by phone today, and they have agreed to meet in person in the near future to discuss bilateral relations.
