I live in the same city as Cat's headquarters and I'm an engineer at a firm whose vast majority of work comes from Caterpillar at this particular location. Stuff like this makes me pretty worried about the future.
Company chooses not to eat costs caused by President's agenda, passes costs on to customers. This would be predictable even to people who know very little about the economy.
"Who knew that trade wars could be so complicated?"
One extra part, this will not make him lose a significant amount of support if at all.
Yes, because the poor folks at the end of the stick are 'willing to make that sacrifice to make America great', which the company which could've eaten the costs for I'm sure is very glad to accommodate.
Shocking!
It isn't.
All of our JCB equipment has outlasted our CAT equivalents. Except this front-end loader we have, that thing has been rolled and weathered to shit and all it needs is a hose down and filters cleaned.

Aw man, part of the reason I'm keeping my current, crappy job is to get experience to hopefully move over to Caterpillar in the near future. I hope this doesn't affect them too negatively.
CAT and Volvo have more or less a monopoly on construction equipment here in Sweden. I know Finland has a whole bunch of good brands but I'm unsure about Norway and Denmark.
Either way I had to google JCB because I had never heard of them before.
Also typing this on a CAT S41 phone.
TIL: CAT is short for Caterpillar (in terms of brand name)
JCB's are very popular in Ireland.
Especially after recent storm
