Anyone remember when Trump whined about American cars not going into Japan and not the other way a few years ago?

Gee I dunno? Maybe because the Japanese have particular needs when it comes to cars: small, efficient, and reliable. American car companies won't consider manufacturing smaller efficient RHD (or LHD in mainland Europe) cars in Japan like they do in the UK and the rest of Europe instead of huge, unreliable gas guzzling LHD monster/muscle cars that don't fit on smaller roads. Japanese car manufacturers also make cars in the US that Americans tend to prefer as well so there's no excuse.

Edit: The only American car brand that sells in Japan is Jeep and they don't even sell over 10,000 units per year.

Another issue is that American car companies won't adapt to the Japanese white glove customer service offered there where car companies treat customers with respect and vice versa. Instead they only sell cars to dealerships in the USA which have a less than stellar reputation for dishonesty and poor customer service.


Trump has done a 180 on Taiwan and now moans that Taiwan "took away" the semiconductor business and the US should sanction them. No, the Taiwanese innovated and produced superior chips. Many countries use them, even China who don't even recognise Taiwan. He's absolutely clueless about technology and trade.

Exactly. Taiwan didn't take them away, they built better plants and made better chips for cheaper so companies brought there business there instead of keeping it here.

AFAIK euro Fords are all designed and built in the UK and Germany. We have to design our own American cars.

I'm pretty sure Nissan, Honda, and Toyota already have US factories.
