      >Lindt produces 95% of the chocolates it sells in the United States at its five factories in the country, which also supply Canada and could be affected by the U.S. tariffs.

      So already production is moving *out* of the US to Europe, taking jobs and revenue with it.

      Brilliant tariff strategy there, Trump. Well done you.

      Shamelessly stolen from r/canada I hope you enjoy the read.

      If you were importing American chocolate before, Canada, your chocolate game just seriously levelled up.

      So now we get european chocolate instead of american chocolate? Big win

      Canadians are about to experience a major upgrade in their chocolate experience.

      Well at least they won’t be getting 95% high fructose syrup “chocolate” anymore

      European chocolate and most other food and consumer goods are much better quality. Lived there for several years and still miss it.

      Trump (and Americans) have convinced themselves theres something uniquely special to them, or the US.

      Neither of these things are true.

      I hope we see A LOT more of this between Canada and Europe. Benefits us both.

      This is the exact same thing that happened with China during his first term: this dumbfuck has no idea what he’s doing.

      The youtuber Kraut did an amazing video on his first term detailing the Chinese just drove around his tariffs by building 95% of their products at home and moving the last 5% abroad, getting the Made in X stamp: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhMAt3BluAU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhMAt3BluAU)

      I can’t wait to find out how this is all Joe Biden’s fault

    17. Intelligent_Lime_703 on

      If it is US just don’t buy it. Doesn’t matter how they ship it. Stand your ground against trump and his cronies.

      Yeh this is stupid as lots of American products are made in Europe Coors coke pepsi the list is endless thanks for the extra trade trump lol or are Americans that stupid they don’t know this

    19. TheBlack2007 on

      Bonus side effect: beats the vomit the yanks pass off as chocolate by lengths…

    20. Markis_Shepherd on

      I do hope that the entities Canada, China, Europe, and Mexico plan their tariffs together for minimal pain on themselves and maximal pain on the US.

      The other I read that US plans tariffs on Canadian lumber and I also read that China will introduce tariffs on US lumber.

      As a side effect, Canadians will now get much better chocolate. Lindt produces different (and inferior) stuff for the North American market. Many US citizens (and Canadians) don’t even realize they’re used to getting the lower quality stuff when it comes to many types of food, but chocolate is a prime example.

    22. DocHolidayPhD on

      There is still a motive to avoid the company if it is an American owned company. If it isn’t, great! If so, tho, fuck em.

    23. Playful_Ad2974 on

      Can this be a trend?  Isn’t European manufactured foods healthier?

    24. ProductGuy48 on

      A lesson for all producers to relocate their production away from the uncompetitive anti trade US.

    26. ClassOptimal7655 on

      Thank God, the USA has terrible chocolate and terrible food regulations.

    28. Isariamkia on

      I absolutely despise Lindt chocolate. There are many unknown brands in Switzerland that are so much better.

      But this is a welcome new. Hopefully, it will motivate other companies to get the fuck out of there too.

    31. FullstackSensei on

      US farmers will just grow cocoa in the US to replace European cocoa…. /s

    32. karateninjazombie on

      Now if only they could remove the heavy metals from their product. Then they would be golden.

    33. MuscleMansBenson on

      I’ll take European chocolate over American ones any day. From a Canadian

    36. Felkin on

      Nice, my sweet cabinet always has at least a couple of bars of Lindt. Been to a few of their factories and visited many shops as well, they’re by far my favorite chocolatier in Europe. This just makes me develop even more brand loyalty towards them.
