Not such good news for British JCB employees though. Looks like Bamford is increasing his US operations to get round tariffs if the kit is British-built. Moving production overseas is rarely a good idea from the domestic perspective (see JLR, Dyson, Ineos, etc etc)
I think the implication is that he intends to increase market share over there as opposed to reducing the workforce here, which incidentally I see growing with the invention of his hydrogen power units particularly in the EU.

I hope I'm not being overly optimistic on this one but I don't imagine him wanting hydrogen power units.

So a good win as also supplies more jobs to USA blue collar workers, which the Gibbon seems intent on exterminating in his new world.
