Harley-Davidson Inc. Chief Executive Officer Matt Levatich pushed back against what he called “misinformation” surrounding the company’s plans to move some production overseas.
The iconic American motorcycle maker has been the target of angry tweets from President Donald Trump since announcing in June it would move some production abroad to sidestep tariffs the European Union slapped on its bikes. The spat flared up again on Sunday when Trump said he would support a boycott of the company if it moved production overseas.
