周一，哈雷公司宣布，计划将出口至欧盟的产品生产线迁移海外，以规避欧盟对美国进口商品加征关税所造成的损失。
当天下午，川普在推特上评论了哈雷公司输出生产线的计划。他指出，当自己正在为美国公司奋战、使他们最终无需关税即可把产品销往欧盟时，哈雷公司竟率先挥舞白旗退却，这让他感到惊讶。川普认为哈雷只是以关税为藉口，并规劝哈雷“耐心”等等。
周二早上，川普对哈雷的计划已由“惊讶”转为愤怒。在左媒藉机抨击川普的贸易政策时，川普连发推文披露事件背景，同时警告，如果哈雷不顾国家利益一意孤行，那么其销回美国的产品必须付出高关税代价。
“今年初，哈雷-戴维森公司说，他们将把自己在堪萨斯城的大部分工厂运营迁至泰国。那是在宣布关税很久之前的事。因此，他们只是以关税或贸易战作为藉口而已。显示出贸易是多么不平衡、不公正，但是我们会解决它……”
Early this year Harley-Davidson said they would move much of their plant operations in Kansas City to Thailand. That was long before Tariffs were announced. Hence, they were just using Tariffs/Trade War as an excuse. Shows how unbalanced & unfair trade is, but we will fix it.....

“……我们正在让其他国家减少、消除多年来对我们的农民、工人和公司不公平使用的关税和贸易壁垒。我们正在打开封闭的市场并扩大我们的覆盖区域。他们必须公平竞争，否则他们将支付关税！”
....We are getting other countries to reduce and eliminate tariffs and trade barriers that have been unfairly used for years against our farmers, workers and companies. We are opening up closed markets and expanding our footprint. They must play fair or they will pay tariffs!

“……当我把哈雷的官员叫到白宫时，我斥责他们在其它国家——如印度——支付的关税太高。公司们正在回归美国。哈雷必须知道，如不支付巨额税费，他们将无法把产品售回美国！”
....When I had Harley-Davidson officials over to the White House, I chided them about tariffs in other countries, like India, being too high. Companies are now coming back to America. Harley must know that they won’t be able to sell back into U.S. without paying a big tax!

“……我们正在完成我们关于欧盟进口汽车关税的研究，因为他们已长期以贸易壁垒和关税的形式利用美国的优势。这最终会扯平——而且不会花费很长时间！”
....We are finishing our study of Tariffs on cars from the E.U. in that they have long taken advantage of the U.S. in the form of Trade Barriers and Tariffs. In the end it will all even out - and it won’t take very long!

川普最后严词警告哈雷公司：
“哈雷-戴维森永远不该建在其它国家——决不！他们的员工和客户已经对他们非常生气。如果他们搬迁，看吧，这将是结束的开始——他们投降了，他们放弃了！其光环将会消失，他们将被前所未有地征税！”
A Harley-Davidson should never be built in another country-never! Their employees and customers are already very angry at them. If they move, watch, it will be the beginning of the end - they surrendered, they quit! The Aura will be gone and they will be taxed like never before!
