“The EU is by no means the paradise for free traders that it likes to think,” said Gabriel Felbermayr, director of the ifo Center for International Economics, a division of the Munich-based ifo Institute. The European Union actually comes off as the bigger offender when compared to the US, he added. The unweighted average EU customs duty is 5.2 percent, versus the US rate of 3.5 percent, according to ifo’s database.
So when Mr. Trump complains of “massive tariffs” he is not that far off the mark in several cases. And he does complain. “If the EU wants to further increase their already massive tariffs and barriers on US companies doing business there, we will simply apply a tax on their cars, which freely pour into the US,” the president tweeted earlier this month. “They make it impossible for our cars (and more) to sell there. Big trade imbalance!”
....
In fact it wasn’t even Mr. Trump who first broke off negotiations over a US-EU free trade deal known as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), the German economist noted. It was actually the EU that put the unpopular talks “on ice” ahead of elections in France and Germany.

@shoujofanatic Elon Musk's business direction has expanded factories with large geopolitical clout e.g. USA (USMCA), Germany (EU), and China.
Gigafactory may specifically refer to the following Tesla factories:
Gigafactory 1 (officially named Giga Nevada) in Storey County, Nevada, U.S (USMCA member).
Gigafactory 2 (officially named Giga New York), in Buffalo, New York, U.S (USMCA member).
Gigafactory 3 (officially named Giga Shanghai), in Pudong, Shanghai, China
Gigafactory 4 (officially named Giga Berlin), in Grünheide, state of Brandenburg (near Berlin), Germany (EU member)
Gigafactory 5 (officially named Giga Texas), in Austin, Texas, U.S (USMCA member).
Gigafactory 6 (officially named Giga Mexico), in Santa Catarina (near Monterrey), Nuevo Leon, Mexico (USMCA member).
Tesla has other factories that are lesser than the Gigafactory category e.g.
Tesla Fremont Factory, Fremont, California, USA
Tesla European Distribution Centre (European parts and services headquarters) in Tilburg, Netherlands, EU.
Megafactory, Lathrop, California, USA.
