Mustangs in Europe came to end

This is a web site which offers visual breakdowns of trade of products the world over; it's quite granular. The free data is current to 2023.

- Once there, search for a country. We'll use "Czech" in this example

- Initially, you'll see the Pro (paid) information. Continue to scroll down

- You'll then see trade data, up to and including 2023

The site gives anyone an idea of the relationships involved between countries. It's complex.

The US GOV maintains information on 10,000+ line items that are traded with the rest of the world.

Ford has halted all exports to China. There's plenty of news on that. Regarding the EU market, I could not locate any articles on Ford's exports to the EU. There are several pages highlighting EU manufacturers: they've stopped exporting their models to the US. While trade across the pond remains possible, once the price is adjusted, the product becomes unsellable.

There's no clear guidance on the way ahead. Compounding these concerns is US brands overseas aren't really pegging the popularity meter right now. While the markets could return to normal overnight, I'm not sure general buyer interest would come back as quickly.

OP, hodně štěstí ve vaší zemi.

OP, Good Luck in your country.

Hi Skie, thanks for the reference! Thanks for your time. I am going to dig in now. Great.

Not ignorant. Well educated.

Truth is tough to take when you refuse to step back and look at the big picture of what is happening instead of just picking the bits and pieces (there are a few that make sense) that makes you happy.

Rant over.

TDS is a very serious and debilitating mental illness.

Just using the term "TDS" is a very serious and debilitating mental illness.

I've seen reciprocal tariffs placed on other countries, countries with the exception of China come to negotiate a fair trade agreement, and tariffs dropped to 10% for 90 days except China, to get worked out. I dont think that's bits and pieces, that is the big picture, to have a fair trade system worldwide. What are we missing that you're talking about?

If you just hate Trump, so be it. I love him, and what he's trying to do for our country.

You said the US started it. FYI, the person that throws the first punch is the one starting it. The one that punches back didn't start it.

That was not the answer to my question. Again, where did I say the tarif war is wrong?

TDS is a very serious and debilitating mental illness.

Which applies to both supporters and detractors.

Maybe we should get off politics and discuss the Jesus.

I don't know if that's a smart idea to discuss about Jesus, lol.

Your whole premise started out on a lie saying the US started a tariff war which is incorrect. Until that statement is corrected, anything after that is moot.

Just like I thought. No answer to a simple question.
You really want others to be correct in what they say, but you gave yourself a carte blanche.
It doens't work that way.

 

[GrabThatBlue]

Or maybe it's because you took the side of China in your post saying the US started a trade war? Could that be it...

Don't try to distract and bring up other things.
We are talking about the fact that you said that I had a problem with Trumps tariffs.
I asked you, where did I say that I have any problem in what Trump is doing?

You don't have any answer to this, so now you are trying to swirl around and bring other stuff up, just to try and avoid answering a simple question.

And why? Because you know that I didn't say that.

So it's funny that you want that other people should becareful about what they say, especially when it comes to something you really feel to defend, but at the same time you are the one who makes assumptions.

Next time don't try to dictate about what others should do if you are doing exactly the same.

 

[GrabThatBlue]

I didn't say "you" had a problem with the tariffs. So you're doing exactly what you're saying I'm doing. I said "suddenly there's a problem".

And look at all the likes my post received compared to yours. I'm not the only one that feels that way, because your post was slanted in favor of China because you lied in your post stating that the US started a tariff war. It did not. The US wants equal tariffs.

Oh yeah, you quoted me about the tarif war, spoke straight to me in detail, and now all of a sudden your comment was not directed to me, but in general. Yeah man, good story.

Your post has more likes he said. SMH, this generation is doomed.
Go to a Camaro Forum and say a Ford Focus looks better and see how many likes you get, if that is the way for you to measure who feels the same as you.

Measuring facts with the amount of likes. OMG, this generation is doomed HAHA!!

@GrabThatBlue ..... I salute your efforts to help fellow Mustang brothers get the cars they want in Europe. That said, I don't appreciate your political comment that "the United States is making a tarif (sic) war with the whole world." I lived in Europe for four years and was well aware at that time that even the most basic statistical analysis showed that Europe had been screwing America with utterly unfair trade practices for a long time and is now whining like a bunch of scalded cats since the United States has said enough with the B.S. It's about time Europe got some of its own medicine back. My advice to you is to stick with Mustang advice and forget the political/financial comments out until you are better educated.

I think you need to take off those glasses because from what I'm seeing these tariffs are causing prices on everything to increase and it's just plain stupid. This is a plan from someone who doesn't understand anything about economics or the world economy. Not to even mention logistics and manufacturing.

 

[GrabThatBlue]

So if you have nothing to say about how you slanted your post in favor of China? Good to know.

Funny that you want to talk about something else now since you realized you were wrong on the main subject. Since you showed your real face, there is no point in going further. You tried to dictate what others shouldn't do, while you are doing it yourself. No privilege for me, no privilege for you. Good luck with this hypocrite mentality.

So this discussion is stopped right here. Good luck and hope this was a lesson for you.
