"It is my opinion that the SUV or, as it is sometimes referred to, Large Engine Vehicle, which does so well in the United States, will be a wonderful addition to the various product lines within Vietnam"

Man shit on huge trade deals to brag about conning Vietnam in to no tarrifs. We live in the worst fucking timeline.
"I hate communists!" except the one that buy my Large Engine Vroom Vrooms. Thank you for your attention on this matter.

Vietnam will pay the US a tariff? What?
It’s for his idiots. He doesn’t care what you think or believe
Know. I don't think or believe how tariffs work, I know how tariffs work. I know he doesn't care about that either though
Trump still doesn't know what a tariff is.
I hate this. I hated that the rise in private car ownership was messing up the flow of Vietnam scooter traffic. Now it'll just be worse. I hope Vinfast is able to succeed, and VN residents buy electric scooters and cars made by their own citizens.
At least VN just got its first subway.
Gas engine cars are easy to disable (sometimes permanently) by puncturing the radiator. Use this information as you see fit.
The Vinfast cars won't be quite as susceptible though....
It would be delusional for any US car company to invest in dealership/repair network for Vietnam. China is next door to them, and they have good trade relations with them. Better value cars, and they also make high end SUVs.
Well, we all know he is crazy, so this is actually normal for him.
Decouple from this idiotic country's economy. It's going to take a while but we all have to do it. Too much risk of stupidity spreading.
Dementia.
Trump's gone woke, he's making deals with socialists! Quick, cancel his DEI funding!
They will pay the tariffs! That’s how tariffs work. /s
Why would Vietnam be paying the tariff on Vietnamese goods going into the US? I swear the definition of a tariff changes every time I see it mentioned.
He's always said that tariffs are paid by the exporting country to the importing country. He's wrong of course, but at least he's consistent.
Hasn't really been large engines in a decade now. All new stuff has boring ass tiny engines with turbos
SUVs have never really had a good engine to weight ratio.
The first batches of Ford Explorer have a V6 that frankly cannot handle mountain highways because of the thing's weight.
I have never once heard anyone ever refer to an SUV as a 'Large Engine Vehicle'. Am I just unaware, or is this trump being a complete idiot again?
He’s trying to flood google results for low emissions vehicles
Could the term be something specific to Vietnam? Like is it a trade term?
I'd say it is an obvious way to try to confuse BEV with LEV... To sell more ICE-cars...
He didn't actually say this, someone with access to his TS/Twitter account did. They don't know wtf SUV stands for and probably made it up.
Transshipping? Oh shit, is he deporting trans folks to Vietnam?
/s just in case
Honestly they might be better off there.
he's paying for their weddings!
/j
I thought communists were bad. Or is that what liberals think? Are Republicans okay with communists now? What's even happening? 😂😂😂
That's his position this week. Who knows what it'll be next week. It only takes one errant tweet for him to turn on you.
i'm sure he can't even place vietnam on a map
