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%.
Great news! Maybe Trump IS a benevolent genius - break the global capitalist hegemony and let modern society collapse under its own weight like it was always going to.
Hehehe, just kidding. He’s a genuine bona fide retard, but his actions will speed up what needs to happen anyway.
Bon voyage everyone!
4D at work. Why spend money to arrest man made climate change when tarrifs alone start to dry up one of the greater polluters?
