US motorcycle company Harley Davidson announced that the company would move some of its production to Europe in response to the trade spat between the European Union and President Donald Trump. Harley's move is an example of what economists say will likely be a growing trend: businesses leaving the US due to Trump's tariffs. Harley's departure is also particularly embarrassing for Trump, since the president has repeatedly praised the company.

And then this, can this get any worse?
President Donald Trump threatened motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson with a big tax hit if it moved its manufacturing Thailand. He also accused them of using the tariffs as an excuse to leave the US. But Harley actually started its Thailand factory as a result of another Trump policy — his withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

Minnesota-based Polaris acknowledged on Friday that it is considering moving some production of its Indian Motorcycles overseas amid concerns over new tariffs from Europe. A spokeswoman for the company told The Associated Press that it could move some of its production to Poland from Iowa, but noted that "nothing is definitive." "We're looking at a range of mitigation plans," the spokeswoman, Jess Rogers, told the AP. Polaris did not immediately respond to The Hill's request for comment. The acknowledgement from Polaris comes days after Wisconsin-based Harley-Davidson announced that it would shift some of its production abroad due to the European tariffs.
