NPR’s Morning Edition had a segment interviewing economics reporter Jim Zarroli on Harley Davidson’s announcement that it would shift some production to Europe to get around tariffs imposed by the European Union in response to Trump’s tariffs. At one point, Zarroli comments that Trump imposed the tariffs in response to what he “sees” as unfair trade practices.

Actually, no one has any idea what Trump “sees,” meaning what he actually thinks. We do know what he says. It’s best to just report what Trump or other political figures say or do and not make assertions about their actual motives.
