jobs which are being lost, and in your home state bmw , it is quite interesting that that plant in spartanburge biggest exporting car plant in the united states, and bmw is the biggest american car exporter by value, not an american brand. when you think of american exports cars, a lot of them are these foreign brands coming from foreign investment. that is a really vital part of the u.s. economy. tariffs do bring some of that into question because a lot of these companies are bringing in parts from abroad and trying to sell the finished product overseas. many of those things will now be taxed going both directions. the trump administration is also thinking about some restrictions on investment, particularly from china. i was recently in michigan visiting the auto industry there. support fromt of chinese investment now in that state, and some fears that trade tensions with china could cut some of that off, to the detriment of workers and companies. host: our next caller is from michigan on the republican line. alan, you are up. hello? caller: yes, hi. i had a comment about the tariffs. i own m

not in germany, it is in spartanburg, which sounds german, but it is in south carolina.nd you don't think the threat can be taken seriously at this stage, does that mean that china won't do much apart from make some noise about it? well, they may well retaliate, but they can't retaliate to the same level the americans can, because they import a lot less than the americans do. what is particularly interesting about this is that it is not really a trade war in an economic sense. trade as a percentage of gdp has been flat to rising in america, so despite all of these minor tax rises on american consumers, some of which will be absorbed by the companies themselves, they may move production offshore, it is not having the negative impact that the term trade war would imply. it all sounds very destructive, though, doesn't it? another thing that president trump turned his attention to today was his own central bank. this really isn't done, the us central bank, like our own, is independent, but politicians say nothing other than things in support of it. what was made of that? the
