It would be cool to see the 25 percent tax on European trucks go away. The EU makes some cool camper vans, but due to that tax, they never make it to the US.

That would likely result in the death of the American automobile manufacturing industry.
North American labour, and logistic costs, can not compete on the global stage.

However, you're correct that they do have some nice vehicles, so it wouldn't be a total loss.

That's why we see a lot of factories in Mexico, but I don't think we have that disadvantage with European workers.

Not with the workers directly, but logistic costs tend to be less for them.
They are able to produce the vehicles at a lower cost even though there wages are still good.
