Trump FURIOUS after John Deere Decides to Move Production to Mexico - Trump's Tariff Chaos.........




🔥 WHAT HAPPENED?
✅ Trump is FURIOUS as John Deere announces plans to move production to Mexico, a direct blow to his “America First” policy.
✅ The move highlights the unintended consequences of Trump’s tariffs, as U.S. companies seek cheaper labor costs abroad, leaving American workers in the dust.

✅ Behind the scenes, Trump’s temper flares as his administration faces backlash over the growing trend of outsourcing manufacturing jobs.

✅ Will this shift mark a turning point in the U.S. manufacturing industry, or is it just another casualty of Trump's trade war? Experts say the fallout could have long-lasting effects on U.S. economic stability.

But the tariff situation obviously didn't deter them, and John Deere products are sold all over the world. They won't be tariffed if they're exported from Mexico to an EU country.

No one was thinking about tariffs when this decision was made. John Deere is most likely hoping that they won’t still be in place by the time they’re supposed to start production there in 2026.

Reciprocal tariffs make their products too expensive so the have to manufacture outside the country. Another brilliant move by Trump

but just as happy they are going to Mexico. It will take more courage on some of these companies to topple Trump.

The Nabisco Corp. sold to Mondelez 25 years ago. And Mondelez closed the Nabisco cookie plant in Fair Lawn, NJ last year and moved operations to Mexico.

I tend to think that maybe a computer could be more intelligent than an American news source.

I'm not interested in analysis by something that thinks "strawberry" has 2 "r's" or that 5/16 is actually larger than 3/8.

EDIT. I'm not a Luddite on this. AI can do amazing thing when used properly. But this video seems to just be a money generating machine of unknown origin. I have no desire to contribute to whomever uploaded it.

Euro type of uniforms while talking about American Billionaires like they are the most generous people in the world. I do not know who the firm doing a lot of these are trying to indoctrinate.

Deere workers are represented by the UAW. Their members can't compete with the low wages paid in Mexico.

It’s not because of the tariffs, maybe in spite of is the more appropriate term. Just looked up an article, they aren’t actually planning on starting any production until late 2026 once the facility is built.
