One of the worst parts of this for me is knowing that the cat is out of the bag and it's not going back in. Either this administration is making us look juvenile, immoral and stupid, or it is exposing us as being juvenile, immoral and stupid.

Either way, our former friends and former allies see that, our reputation is shot, they've now begun the process of washing their hands of us, and you sure as hell can't blame them.

The future is going to be extremely painful for most.

Yes, European manufacturing is increasingly moving to or expanding in the U.S., driven by factors like Europe's high energy costs, pandemic-exposed supply chain issues, and new U.S. trade deals, with major investments seen in automotive (BMW, VW), chemicals (OCI), batteries (Northvolt), and consumer goods, boosting U.S. investment and job creation in key sectors.
Key Drivers for European Investment in the U.S.:
  • Energy Costs: Europe's energy crisis pushes energy-intensive manufacturers (steel, chemicals) to the U.S. for cheaper power.
  • Supply Chain Resilience: Proximity to North American customers (U.S., Mexico, Canada) reduces supply chain risks.
  • Market Access: The U.S. offers vast market access, making local production strategic for serving American consumers.
  • Government Incentives: U.S. policies and trade agreements (like the recent EU-US deal) encourage investment in advanced manufacturing.
Sectors Seeing Growth:
  • Automotive: BMW (South Carolina), Mercedes-Benz (Alabama, South Carolina), Audi & Volkswagen (North America expansion).
  • Batteries: Swedish firm Northvolt considering North American expansion.
  • Chemicals & Steel: OCI (ammonia expansion in Texas), ArcelorMittal (shifting production from Germany to U.S.).
  • Consumer Goods: Danish jeweler Pandora, Italian spirits group (assessing U.S. expansion).
Examples of Investment:
  • ArcelorMittal: Increased Texas plant output after German plant cuts.
  • OCI: Expanding Texas ammonia facility.
  • BMW: Spartanburg plant producing for global markets.
  • Diageo: New manufacturing plant in Alabama.
This trend signifies a significant shift, with Europe leveraging U.S. advantages to diversify production and better serve the American market, creating jobs and strengthening industrial ties.

The government was involved with farmers shutting down a portion of their land each year for it to renew itself for crops several decades go at least and longer. They provide food. Ghettos provide nothing when you spend endless trillions on them and they still exist.

Tariffs have impacted their sales. Now Trump wants to buy them off.

Tariffs are paying the farmers so its foreign governments paying the bill that they caused with their tariffs on us. Trump is a genius

Tariff income is coming from US taxpayers. Do you not know how tariffs work?

President Donald Trump announced a total $12 billion in funding to help American farmers during an event on Monday, and said that it would come from tariff revenue.

"I'm delighted to announce this afternoon that the United States will be taking a small portion of the hundreds of billions of dollars we receive in tariffs. ... and we're going to be giving and providing it to the farmers in economic assistance. And we love our farmers," the president said.

The package includes $11 billion in one-time payments to crop farmers through a new Department of Agriculture bridge payment program. The remaining funds will then go to other crops not covered by that program.

Our government involvement is not cut and dried. There is a lot of interference with a lot of programs that mixes in on how things work. So, you compare government involved with a single woman who has children with different fathers as compared to farming.

Robbing Peter to pay Peter

Trump's trade conflict with China results in financial losses for farmers, prompting Trump to provide monetary compensation to them. This is simply illogical, Harfar1014. Ending the Trade War and ceasing payments to farmers is a more sensible approach. Iowa Farmers agree.

Farmers “want free markets to buy and sell into,” said Mark Mueller, president of the Iowa Corn Growers Association board.

“We know we can grow corn better than anybody else in the rest of the world and we can do it in a sustainable fashion," said Mueller, who grows corn, soybeans and alfalfa in northeast Iowa. "We should be able to win if there’s no trade barriers.

“And yet we shoot ourselves in the foot every time we throw a tariff out there,” added Mueller, who’s particularly concerned about ongoing trade disputes with Canada and Mexico, leading buyers of U.S. corn, pork, milk and ethanol.

Foreign governments paid our farmers. Tariffs will pay off the annual deficit in 3 years. Tariffs have allowed us to force countries that have cheated us for decades that democrats did nothing about.

Calling Amash "the rabid left" is all I need to know about you phony phucks.
 
In 2020 during Covid the US government under CFAP paid out 55.3 billion to farmers.

Farm subsidies have been going on for decades but suddenly everyone is aghast? Ridiculous
