Trump met en garde les manufacturiers Allemands

Trump threatens German carmakers with 35 percent U.S. import tariff

"...U.S President-elect Donald Trump warned German car companies he would impose a border tax of 35 percent on vehicles imported to the U.S. market, a plan that drew sharp rebukes from Berlin and hit the automakers' shares.

In an interview with German newspaper Bild, published on Monday, Trump criticized German carmakers such as BMW (BMWG.DE), Daimler (DAIGn.DE) and Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE) for failing to produce more cars on U.S. soil.

"If you want to build cars in the world, then I wish you all the best. You can build cars for the United States, but for every car that comes to the USA, you will pay 35 percent tax," Trump said in remarks translated into German.

"I would tell BMW that if you are building a factory in Mexico and plan to sell cars to the USA, without a 35 percent tax, then you can forget that," Trump said.

Volkswagen (VW) shares closed down 2.2 percent, while BMW and Daimler's shares ended 1.5 percent lower.

Under pressure to deliver on campaign promises to revive U.S. industrial jobs, Trump has turned his fire on carmakers that use low-cost Mexican plants to serve the U.S. market. He has also warned Japan's Toyota <7203.T> it could be subject to a "big border tax" if it builds its Corolla cars for the U.S. market at a planned factory in Mexico.

All three German carmakers have invested heavily in Mexico, but also pointed out on Monday that they manufacturer in the United States as well.

BMW executive Peter Schwarzenbauer told reporters the company was sticking to plans to invest around $1 billion in a new plant in Mexico, which is due to go into production in 2019 and create at least 1,500 jobs.


SERIOUS WARNING

"The president's powers are considerable. He can legally impose tariffs of up to 15 percent for 150 days. Trump is not constrained by Congress," said Simon Evenett, professor of international trade at Switzerland's University of St Gallen.

"Even if foreign companies object and seek to challenge the legality of tariffs, it will take at least 18 months to get decided. Corporate strategies will be disrupted by then."

While investing in Mexico, German carmakers have quadrupled light vehicle production in the United States over the past seven years to 850,000 units, more than half of which are exported from there, Germany's VDA automotive industry association said.

"In the long term, the United States would be shooting itself in the foot by imposing tariffs or other trade barriers," VDA President Matthias Wissmann said in a statement.

German carmakers employ about 33,000 workers in the United States and German automotive suppliers about 77,000 more, the VDA said.

Speaking in tabloid newspaper Bild, German Economy Minister Sigmar Gabriel said that rather than trying to penalize German carmakers, the United States should instead respond by building better and more desirable cars.

Norbert Roettgen, head of Germany's foreign affairs committee, said Berlin needed to take Trump's comments seriously. "He seems to be absolutely focused on short-term job interests and security interests ... not that he is looking for free trade so much, but more for protection," he told Reuters.


MEXICAN PLANS

Daimler's Mercedes-Benz and BMW already have sizeable factories in the United States where they build higher-margin sports utility vehicles (SUVs) for export to Asia and Europe.

Around 65 percent of BMW's production from its factory in Spartanburg, South Carolina, is exported overseas. BMW builds the X3, X4, X5 and X6 models in the United States.

"It is surprising that Trump singles out the carmaker that exports more vehicles from the United States than any other manufacturer," Evercore ISI analysts said.

A BMW spokeswoman said the planned plant in the central Mexican city of San Luis Potosi would build the BMW 3 Series from 2019, with the output intended for the world market. The plant would be an addition to existing 3 Series production facilities in Germany and China.

In June last year, BMW broke ground on the plant, pledging to invest $2.2 billion in Mexico by 2019 for annual production of 150,000 cars.

Daimler has said it plans to begin assembling Mercedes-Benz vehicles in 2018 from a $1 billion facility shared with Renault-Nissan (RENA.PA) <7201.T> in Aguascalientes in Mexico. A spokesman for Daimler declined to comment on Trump's remarks...."

Les states représentent un énorme marché pour tout les manufacturiers, Trump leur fou la pression et ça marche. GM qui résistait, vient de plier et annonce la réfaction de deux usines pour 1 milliards.

Ça fait suite aux investissements annoncés de Ford, FCA et Volks... avec tout ça, Trump n'a pas dépensé un clou, il n'est même pas au pouvoir encore!!!!!! Sans parler des FDI qui augmentent aussi très rapidement. La Chine va aussi plier et offrir de quoi, la balance commercial entre USA/Chine est négative on s'en doute, mais elle est aussi passé de 234 milliards à 319 milliards en 10 ans. 319 milliards, ça fait pas mal d'argent, je ne crois pas que la Chine est un autres clients potentiels dans cet ordre à court et moyen terme.

Bref, je suis certain que ça n'ira pas en législation, même si je ne suis pas protectionniste, je lui lève mon chapeau. Il a compris que la classe politique gère avec l'opinion publique et il est en train de démontrer que le pouvoir privé aussi.

Et juste entre vous et moi, qui veut d'une allemande made in MEXICO!?

Et ce n'est pas fini...ca n'a pas rapport au monde de l'automobile mais c'est quand même relié au sujet:

"...Wal-Mart to add about 10,000 retail jobs in the US: NEW YORK (AP) -- Wal-Mart plans to add about 10,000 retail jobs in the U.S. as it opens new stores and expands existing locations. The world's biggest retailer said Tuesday that there will also be about 24,000 construction jobs generated by its expansion plans. There will be 59 new, expanded and relocated Walmart and Sam's Clubs locations, according to Wal-Mart Stores Inc.

The company plans $6.8 billion in capital investments in the U.S. in the coming fiscal year, which begins on Feb. 1. The investments include construction and remodeling of stores, clubs and distribution centers, and the expansion of new services such as online grocery pickup..."


Comme tu dis, tout ceci et il n'est même pas au pouvoir encore. En tout cas les compagnies le prennent au sérieux.

En tout cas, s'il ne fait pas un bon président, il aura toujours ben le mérite de rappeler à nos dirigeants que comme pays nous sommes consommateur et avons un pouvoir d'achat qu'on doit utiliser!

S'il réduit les taxs dans la mesure de ses promesses électorales, faisant des states un presque paradis fiscal... l'argent va couler à flow!

C'est un con, mais force est d'admettre qu'il est efficace!

Tant qu'un autre pays decide pas de l'envoyer chier et que ca se retourne contre lui. Quoi que comment veux tu qu'un constructeur automobile abandonne un tel marché, même si la chine devient de plus en plus importante.
