That was symbolic, I think for something Trump did. It probably didn't even had a real impact on Harley Davidson sales in Europe.

It was chosen because many know the brand, escalating a trade war would be stupid for both sides.

It was targeted at specific congressmen iirc, wasn’t Kentucky (McConnell?) targeted through a bourbon tariff?
