Oh! Really Rob,

Well okay, but if someone gets to be the advantaged and someone else is relegated to the disadvantaged...I want the disadvantaged to be you and the countries that you advocate for. That works for me. Let's do that. And once done, we can sit back and pontificate about how some trade deficits are to be expected.

I know the comeback;
The US is big and it only makes sense that the smaller countries get handicapped?
Not anymore. It appears that the deficits have gone on too long and gotten too wide. So it's time to take a hard look and bring them back down.

As for me, I am looking at GMC trucks. I believe that they won't be tariffed. I need to check where Canyons are assembled.
I don't build anymore and don't need to go pick up a few pieces of sheetrock or plywood now and then, so I may go down to the midsize Canyon. But if I catch a deal on a Sierra, I may grab it.
My wife likes her Mercedes. Good car. If the EU gets right with all this, maybe she'll buy another.

ps. Per Google Gemini...
According to the information available, GMC Canyons are manufactured at:

GM's Wentzville Assembly plant in Wentzville, Missouri, United States.  
This plant is the primary production site for the GMC Canyon, as well as its sibling, the Chevrolet Colorado.
