President Donald Trump has threatened to place a 100 percent tariff on Barbie maker Mattel, after the company’s CEO said it would continue to manufacture outside the U.S. but would be reducing its reliance on Chinese imports.
„I’ve heard [Mattel] said: ‚Well we’re going to go counter, we’re going to try going someplace else,'“ Trump said in the Oval Office on Thursday. „That’s OK, let him go, and we’ll put a 100 percent tariff on his toys, and he won’t sell one toy in the United States, and that’s their biggest market.“
Nice company you have here. Sure would be a shame if something happened to it.

All he cares about is being the center is attention. He doesn’t care about the country or our people.

Mattel’s biggest plant for producing Barbies is located in West Java, Indonesia. Its been operating in Indonesia for over 30 years.
So Mattel has the ability to move production outside of China. They have plants in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and Mexico.

Lol what? This sounds ridiculous. Why would he even care about Barbie dolls? Feels like he’s just trying to stir up drama for no reason.

Targeting a specific company for concessions. Pretty sure this is just racketeering and this will be some giant RICO case at some point, or the world can hope

On April 30th, Trump said, “*Maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls*.” By May 8th, he was threatening a 100% tariff on Barbie so no dolls would be sold at all.
So in April it was “*fewer dolls*,” in May it’s “*no Barbie at all* “ – can’t wait for June, when he accuses Mr. Potato Head of colluding with China and demands all toys be grown on American soil

Indonesia has been hit with 36% tariffs by Trump.
One of the issues between Indonesia and the US when discussing tariffs was status of the Mattel;s production facility in Indonesia.
