US Goods

Yes they will. Part of the Brexit divorce agreement will be alignment with the EU on this.

We don't be in the EU and the US has already said their tariffs don't apply to us when we leave. In fact, they've been very clear on that point. Period, as the Americans so aptly say.

The other thing you've forgotten is that no "deal" between us and the EU has been formally ratified, and may in fact never be, so with what authority are you predicting the future status of our politcal alignment with EU external commercial policy? I'll answer that for you now - tea leaves, tarot cards, or discarded chicken entrails have about as much actual provenance as your statement. Unless...unless...youre a time traveller from the future!

All the Harleys on Highway 101 seemed to be owned by dentists. They had all the accessories too.

Mod Note:
can we please respect the OP's wishes to stay on topic?
Thanks all!

Don’t really want to go into the politics on this thread just got the ass with the trade war, so just want to talk about where stuff comes from not whether it’s right or wrong. Ta.

This a list of some of the many goods made in US:

• KitchenAid mixers.
• Vitamix blenders.
• Lodge cookware.
• Viking appliances.
• Aquasana filters.
• Igloo coolers
• Harley Davidson motorcycles
• New Balance shoes
• Jack Daniels whisky
• Pork belly
• Levi jeans

Not all are targeted by the EU yet but may well be in future. I don't have any apart from a Vitamix blender.

Anyway, if anyone wants a Harley they’re probably a sexually frustrated retiree with too much money and an inherent dislike of well built, efficient machinery... “a fool and his money” could have been coined for such men.

Or Hell's Angels / Outlaws , you can ask them why they ride them .

Lezyne bike stuff.

Harley Davidson should be taxed very heavily. They make the world's worst sounding engine.

I’m Nike/Asics in the running shoe department - that’s going to be tricky.

Not sure so can give up 501s!

What price principles?

Light bulbs, although they're on the way out now
Hoover appliances

I wonder how this may impact on Costco stores in the UK & Europe? They have quite a few products imported over from the US.

Rules out Pizza Hut, Domino's, KFC, Burger King and McDonalds.

Starbucks & Subway.

The vast majority of Levi's are not made in the US, so with a bit of corporate shuffling they can easily get round any tariffs, many others could do the same.

“The US said” is about as cast iron a guarantee as this...

I do believe Teresa "tough on the causes of crime" May has announced pretty much exactly that last week. I think you meant to cite an example that wasn't going to come true?

Didn’t know Asics were Japanese
