Detroit auto stocks jump on report of tariff relief for U.S. vehicles​

DETROIT – Shares of the Detroit automakers jumped Friday afternoon following a report that President Donald Trump is considering “significant tariff relief” for the production of vehicles in the U.S.

Stocks for General Motors, Ford Motor and Chrysler parent Stellantis shifted from trading level or down to up roughly 2% to 4% on the report from Reuters.

The news organization, citing Republican Senator Bernie Moreno of Ohio and auto officials, said the potential change could “effectively eliminate much of the costs major car companies are paying.”

“The signal to the car companies around the world is, look, you have final assembly in the U.S.: we’re going to reward you,” Moreno told Reuters during an interview. “For Ford, for Toyota, for Honda, for Tesla, for GM, those are the almost in order the top five domestic content vehicle producers -- they’ll be immune to tariffs.”

Reuters reported that the changes could include extending a tariff offset of 3.75% for five years as well as adding U.S. engine production to the relief.

Another tariff policy in full reverse except US taxpayers get to bail them out for doing something they were already doing years ago.

Let's assume that there are "quantum med beds." Why's Trump handing out med bed cards to every American? That's socialism. Is he a commie now? Do Americans get free med bed healthcare? What about personal responsibility? Why should I pay for your med bed?

Baloney. What about the IGBT transistor, quartz watch, pocket calculator, the VCR, the CD, the Walkman, the LCD TV, AMOLED, CMOS sensor, stereolithography, cup noodles, cell phones, the laptop computer, the white LED, secondary lithium ion batteries, NAND memory, the maglev train and other such Japanese innovations?


Japan tried to go into aerospace to go into other markets. But they were kneecapped here as well. The Mitsubishi SpaceJet is one example. They couldn't get FAA approval no matter what they did.

If the US supplies long range missiles to Ukraine breaking existing treaties then Russia can do the same. Just think about it. The Kalibr is way more modern than the Tomahawk. It has twice the range in the land attack version and has supersonic terminal velocity in some versions. The Tomahawk is subsonic. The Kalibr can also act as an anti-shipping missile. As for the Tomahawk they are thinking about it.

Because of treaties Russia nerfs its export Kalibr. What if they un-nerf it?

Russia produces more Kalibr missiles than the US produces Tomahawks.

Kalibr-M can reach half the US mainland from Venezuela. You can probably hit the whole US from Cuba.

Kalibr can be put inside standard container units.

The US government should really think about this.

And it turns out one of the two civilians killed died from police bullets.

I have been saying for years that western armed police carrying military rifles patrolling city centres is pure lunacy since those rounds are far too overpowered for the target and environment.

You can score a textbook perfect kill shot on a bad guy and still kill up to two civilians behind him if the stars were badly enough aligned for it.

For urban policing, 9mm SMGs should be the default carry long gun, not assault rifles. Especially in places like the UK where body armour isn’t remotely widely proliferated. And if terrorists where wearing level 4 plates, 556 wouldn’t do much anyway.

But just watch them throw the poor policeman who fired the shot under the bus and continue to use their ridiculously ill suited firearms.
