Mark Warner just demolished Jamieson Greer.
Jamieson blatantly lied. - Australia has NOT banned American Pork and Beef.

We have stringent bio-security laws, which applies to all companies, organizations and nations. - Even our own companies MUST adhere to it.

The other issue is American companies buying Canadian and Mexican pork and beef and putting an American rubber stamp on it, which we forbade, again... Because of our biosecurity and health laws.
That and as a Nation we want to support the US, not other nations in our Australian = American trade agreement. - Normally Republicans are all about putting America first, so why the defense of trying to resell Mexican and Canadian meat?

So basically it's the same issue as in Europe with American poultry. If it would adhere to European standards we'd have them also in our stores, but since they don't...

And that comes down to the same reason American cars don't sell. If they were actually built to the quality standards of the markets they're trying to break into, not to mention the roadways, they might have a better chance. But the oversized trucks and duallies that Ford and GM subsist on are not for most European or Asian roads or the needs of everyday drivers in those countries, and the build quality really isn't up to par. Even in the U.S., outside of the F-Series, Silverado, and Ram, the best-selling vehicle lists are dominated by Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and Hyundai.

Trump always rails about Europe not buying American cars. What American cars? All I see is Pick-up trucks (which are extremely niche in Europe, mostly used by hunters or foresters) and huge SUVs (too big for Europe), but not really any cars anymore. Are they still producing any actual cars or have they all switched to SUVs now?

To my fellow Americans, a Truck or SUV is a car. I drive a 20-year-old Toyota Corolla because it runs great and is cheap to insure. Meanwhile, people tell me all the time that "the average car payment according to AAA is $600." And then every goddamn time, I have to point out that AAA is using F150's and SUVs in their "car payment" average. They are also using payments of people who sold their old vehicle before paying it off. So many people in the USA are paying for both their new car and their old car that they sold. 

So many people want to bitch about the price of videogames or some other tech, yet they light money on fire all the time.

I get that, but what other vehicles for personal use are the US producing that aren't trucks or SUVs? That was my main question.



I think I can speak for many Brits when I say that we don't want USA's ugly monstrosities on our roads, specifically the oversized, overcompensating vehicles. They're not only ugly as shit, environmentally damaging, not built for our roads, they're also straight up dangerous. The size of some of these things is absolutely ridiculous, there is little chance of surviving an impact from one.

America's Cars and Trucks Are Getting Bigger, and So Are Their Front Blind Zones. Children Are Paying The Price.

U.S. Drivers Run Over 15 Children Every Day In Parking Lots And Driveways

They'd even demolish your average vehicle and probably the driver in them.

Looks like it's just the Cadillac CT4. A regular car is called a Sedan in the USA. I guess there's a charger or whatever but that's a sports car and not an everyday person's car. There's some Tesla's but again, those are not regular people cars. Those are for rich bastards. Also Tesla blows for reliability.
