Canada Targets Trump's Support Base with Tariffs on Harley-Davidson Motorcycles
President Donald Trump imposed new tariffs on various Canadian imports in an attempt to weaken its economy. However, Canada has taken a more targeted approach by focusing on Trump's vulnerabilities.
The move comes after Trump announced the new tariffs, which aim to curb Canada's economic growth unless it agrees to his terms. In response, Canada implemented tariffs on Harley-Davidson motorcycles, targeting one of Trump's key constituencies in Wisconsin.
Harley-Davidson has a significant presence in Wisconsin and has been vocal about the impact of tariffs on its business. The company had previously announced plans to shift some production to Europe to avoid the tariffs, which further complicated Trump's efforts to protect American jobs.
