Não me dei ao trabalho de traduzir, a notícia é "fresca" e ainda não há em português.
Depois de no outro dia Trump ameaçar os construtores de carros europeus com o aumento "brutal" da taxa de importação, agora fala-se de um aumento da taxa de importação de 100% para as motas europeias.

American trade body proposes 100% import tax on European motorcycles
The Office of US Trade Representatives is currently looking at a 100% import tax for European motorcycles between 50 and 500cc
With Brexit coverage overshadowing our daily news coverage, many of us will be intricately familiar with the precise negotiations of international trade agreements – namely, it’s a bit of give and take with some mild threatening here and there. Not wishing to break with tradition, the USA is currently doing exactly that and it could well drive up the cost of bikes in the UK.
How likely is this to happen? In truth it’s not that likely. The motorcycle import tariff has been tabled twice before and never made it past the consultation stage, however with a new president on the way who is in favour of industrial protectionism the chance is greater than ever. It also wouldn't be the first time America has done this. Back in 1983, as recorded by the New York Times, President Reagan introduced a 45% import tariff on Japanese motorcycles over 700cc to give breathing room to a struggling Harley-Davidson. With the help of the tariff, HD bounced back into profit and the tariff was dropped in 1987."
