Trump threatens tractor maker John Deere with 200% import tariff if it moves manufacturing to Mexico
==========
Donald Trump, during a campaign event on September 23, 2024, in Smithton, Pennsylvania, threatened John Deere with a 200% import tariff if the company moves manufacturing to Mexico. John Deere announced in June 2024 plans to relocate skid steer and track loader manufacturing to Mexico. Trump criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for her energy policies and emphasized the need for tariffs to protect American jobs. He expressed concerns about the loss of family farms and the influence of China on U.S. agriculture. Trump also made light-hearted comments during the event, contrasting with his usual combative style at rallies. He urged supporters to vote and dismissed early voting as a potential for fraud. The event was part of his strategy to appeal to working-class voters, while Harris' campaign criticized Trump's past policies as harmful to family farmers.
