Port of Antwerp-Bruges figures show 15.9% drop in export of cars, vans, trucks and tractors to US
The Port of Antwerp-Bruges has been turned into a giant car park with thousands of cars, vans, trucks and tractors bound for the US sitting idle as manufacturers try to avert the worst of Donald Trump’s tariffs.
Figures released by the port show a 15.9% drop in the transport of new passenger cars and vans to the US in the first six months of 2025 compared with the same period last year, with a sharp decline emerging in May – one month after the US president announced his “liberation day” tariffs.
Exports of trucks and what they call “high and heavy equipment” is down by almost a third at 31.5%.
If you aren’t interested in American policy, why comment on an article on the ramifications of US policy abroad? 🤔
It’s about the user. I’m allowed to make comments.
“I have a right to be a dumb fucking asshole in public. It’s called DEMOCRACY!!!”
Asshole is subjective, and the comment is to the user specifically, so some context would be missing. But, you get that dopamine!
everything is subjective, if you are being generalistic about it. you might loudly say in public that you get a hard-on when you kill puppies, and subjectively it’s ok to share that in your dead puppies boner club, but expect a punch to the face if you say it in the streets. have decorum and leave your shitty opinion in the toilet
Just curious, what was my shitty opinion?
