Trump gives Rolls-Royce cars a break, but threatens more tariffs on matting toys

Luxury British automobile manufacturers such as Rolls-Royce, Range Rover and Aston Martin will receive a collective bargaining after the outline of a trade agreement, Donald Trump, while he doubles his threats on Thursday to continue tariffs for toys.

Shortly after he announced that he would reduce the tariff for British cars from 27.5%to 10%, Trump said that he would keep steep tariffs for Jomer Mattel – even if the company pulls its production in overseas from China, where it does around 40%of its game. Ynon Kreiz, CEO von Mattel

“It's okay, let him go, and we will put his toy a 100% tariff, and he will not sell toys in the United States, and that is her biggest market,” said Trump in the comments from the Oval Office. “I heard that I spoke this guy about how I will go counter. I said: 'Well, I wouldn't want him as a manager for too long.'”

But when Trump gave a tariff break for Rolls-Royce, Trump released the idea that these vehicles in the US

“We took it from 25 to 10 to Rolls-Royce because Rolls-Royce is not being built here. I would not even ask you to do it. It is a very special car and it is also a very limited number,” said Trump. “It is not one of the monster car companies that produce millions of cars. They make a very small number of cars that are super luxury.”

Mattel's Kreiz said that the company has moved its production from China in the past seven years and wanted to continue to diversify its supply chain in the coming months. Nevertheless, the manufacturer of Barbie Dolls and Hot Wheels Cars CNBC said: “If necessary, we will take a price process in the United States” and not foreseen that we could move production to the USA

“We believe that production in other countries in which we can be efficient and more productive, the best balance between production outside the USA and the further development of products in terms of design and creativity in America,” said Kreiz.

According to the CHINA, the United States imports up to 75% of the toy products that they sell, and makes them one of the most dependent on the supply chain of this country.

Trump has repeatedly dismissed the effects of price increases on children's items produced in China, including toys and strollers that are largely manufactured, although the finance minister Scott Bessent said that exceptions to baby products were “considered”.

Trump has introduced a tariff of 145% to all Chinese imports, which led to some companies hiring the programs from China from China or considering significant price increases.

“If you say that strollers rise, what a thing? I say that gasoline is going down. Petrol is more important than a stroller or something else,” said Trump in an interview on Sunday at NBCS “Meet the Press”.

“I don't think a beautiful little girl – that's 11 years old – needs 30 dolls. I think there can be three dolls or four dolls because what we did with China were only incredible. We had a trade deficit of hundreds of billions of dollars with China,” said Trump “.

“I say you don't have to have 30 dolls,” he added.
