As many companies see trump and putin have got them in their sites to do like putin did in russia, where only the most corrupt are allowed to prosper, and those that aren't corrupt are criminalized and their companies stolen from them like putin did and became very, very wealthy from it. These companies can see what's coming from these criminals.

Minnesota-based Polaris acknowledged on Friday that it is considering moving some production of its Indian Motorcycles overseas amid concerns over new tariffs from Europe.
A spokeswoman for the company told The Associated Press that it could move some of its production to Poland from Iowa, but noted that "nothing is definitive."
"We're looking at a range of mitigation plans," the spokeswoman, Jess Rogers, told the AP. Polaris did not immediately respond to The Hill's request for comment.
