The German candy Company Haribo is going to built a factory in Wisconsin, creating 400 new jobs in the United States of America.

By the way, it was a close AK friend who is a Trump voter/supporter who proudly turned my attention to this topic. Another example for American schizophrenia.

I suspect you're misinformed here. This is actually good news, and demonstrates that both domestic AND foreign industries continue to see America as a good bet.

Trump - according to Cato - has not made any specific statements that criticize foreign investment in the US. To the extent that foreign investment might result in US jobs, Trump's statements to date would suggest he'd be in support of a deal like this.

To the extent that Haribo's products would be available for US consumers - which seems likely - that would align with increased competition and consumer choice, both positives and not in conflict with any of Trump's policy statements that I'm aware of. To the extent that Haribo's US produced products would be exported, even better since that might decrease the trade imbalance.

Try to keep your sweeping generalizations about "American schizophrenia" under a bit of control please.

My information sources are others than yours, whell. Okay. But the company's decision is a clever one. Probable punitive duties will in this case be no issue for Haribo - because avoided.

I can tell. Might be interesting for you to post some examples.

My 2nd language was Spanish, and I'm a bit out of practice but can still read it a bit. However, a number of leading German publications also have English - language versions. For example:

LOL. You're a stitch.

Sure, Sir. Enjoy it.
