I can't imagine there are that many people buying $4000 Miele washers for this to be much of an issue.

The real targets for this are the factories in Mexico and China.

I bought a $5000 Miele dishwasher... and it’s not an issue for me at all... my next dishwasher will be KitchenAid! I gladly buy American if EU cause problems for my country!

Why didn't you "buy American" the first time around then?

I've always bought American-made appliances, and I can guarantee you I've never paid $5000 for a dishwasher.

How many washers are made in the USA that cost $4000?

Get back to us when you figure that out.

Just admit. You hate it simply because Trump did it. No other reason.

Will not affect the many people. Those that have the money will continue to purchase high priced foreign made goods. There are other options. Hopefully, more goods will be made here in the US and create jobs.
