Good. I hope they are not timid.

I would also like a 100% tariff on all Tesla cars, regardless of where they are made.

Tesla has a factory in Germany. Tariffs are for exports/imports.

You can target specific companies with sanctions, like they have done with Russian oligarchs.

Again, Tesla has factory in Germany. How are you going to tariff locally produced goods?

By adding 100% to the price on all cars sold that are produced from that factory as long as it is owned by an adversarial individual.

The factory can always be sold to another company.

The same approach as the sanctions against Russia can be used against Elon Musk.

What a wonderful way to make sure no foreign companies build factories inside EU.

Which factory was forced to sell/close because it was sanctioned?
