WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday his administration is working to bring other motorcycle companies to the United States, following Harley-Davidson Inc’s decision to shift some production for European customers overseas.

 Trump gave no details about what steps his administration is taking. Asked about the tweet, White House senior adviser Kellyanne Conway had no comment. 
 
 “Now that Harley-Davidson is moving part of its operation out of the U.S., my Administration is working with other Motor Cycle companies who want to move into the U.S,” Trump said on Twitter, adding “The U.S. is where the Action is!”

 Harley-Davidson declined to comment on the tweet. 
 
 Trump has threatened to impose higher taxes on the Milwaukee-based manufacturer in retaliation after it said on June 25 it was shifting some production for European-bound motorcycles from U.S. facilities to avoid tariffs being imposed by the European Union to counter U.S. duties imposed by Trump. 
 
 Motorcycle companies based outside the United States include Japan’s Honda Motor Co Ltd and Yamaha Corp, Europe’s BMW and Ducati as well as India’s Hero MotoCorp Ltd, Bajaj Auto Ltd, among others. 
 
 The company’s announcement shook Trump’s relationship with the iconic American brand. Executives had been feted at the White House during a visit with the president last year shortly after he took office.

 In the face of waning U.S. demand for motorcycles, Harley has turned its focus on overseas sales, opening assembly plants in Thailand, India and Brazil. 
 
 “Harley’s primary issue is U.S.-related due to shifts in demographics, which began well before any talks of tariffs and trade wars. Trump’s reaction seems emotionally charged. Harley is simply playing the hand Trump dealt them,” Bernstein analyst David Beckel said. 
 
 Shares of Harley were up 1.5 percent at $42.55 on the New York Stock Exchange. 
 
 Its shares took a hit after Trump tweeted that the company would be “taxed like never before” after its production announcement, although he gave no further information. 
 
 Trump on Tuesday also appeared to incorrectly tie Harley’s June announcement to its sales last year, saying Harley customers were unhappy with the move and that sales had fallen 7 percent in 2017. 

 Now that Harley-Davidson is moving part of its operation out of the U.S., my Administration is working with other Motor Cycle companies who want to move into the U.S. Harley customers are not happy with their move - sales are down 7% in 2017. The U.S. is where the Action is! 

 President Donald Trump is blasting Harley-Davidson again for announcing it's shifting some operations overseas in the wake of retaliatory EU tariffs against U.S. duties. 
 
 Trump said Tuesday that his administration is talking with other motorcycle companies about moving to the U.S. 
 
 “Now that Harley-Davidson is moving part of its operation out of the U.S., my Administration is working with other Motor Cycle companies who want to move into the U.S. Harley customers are not happy with their move - sales are down 7% in 2017. The U.S. is where the Action is!,” Trump said on Twitter. 
 
 Trump has repeatedly criticized the motorcycle manufacturer recently. 
 
 Last Wednesday Trump said in a tweet, "Harley-Davidson should stay 100% in America, with the people that got you your success. I’ve done so much for you, and then this. Other companies are coming back where they belong! We won’t forget, and neither will your customers or your now very HAPPY competitors!" 
 
 Harley-Davidson said on June 25 that tariffs implemented by the EU would increase the average cost per motorcycle by about $2,200 and the company will shift some production overseas as a result. The European Union imposed the tariffs in retaliation against the Trump administration's duties on steel and aluminum imports, which were an effort by Trump to protect U.S. jobs. 
 
 No production will be moving to Europe as a result of the tariffs, according to the company. Harley's overseas manufacturing plants are in Brazil, India, Australia and Thailand. In the U.S., the company is shutting down a Kansas City, Missouri, factory and transferring operations to York, Pennsylvania. 
 
 In 2014, the top five companies with the largest motorcycle market share in the U.S. were Harley-Davidson, Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki and Polaris, according to UBS.

 Harley-Davidson's full-year 2017 motorcycle sales declined 7.2 percent from the previous year. The company's U.S. retail motorcycle unit shipments dropped 10.5 percent in the same time period. 
 
 When asked for comment, a Harley-Davidson spokesperson said all Harley motorcycles sold in the U.S. are made in the U.S.

– President Trump isn't letting up on Harley-Davidson: In another tweet on the subject, Trump expressed more frustration with the motorcycle-maker's decision to move some production overseas. "(My) Administration is working with other Motor Cycle companies who want to move into the U.S.," Trump wrote Tuesday. "The U.S. is where the Action is!" Trump didn't offer any specifics, notes Reuters, and White House officials didn't immediately elaborate. Harley itself, which blames Trump's tariffs and retaliatory ones from other nations for its decision, didn't comment. The Washington Post points out a potential problem with the plan: Other leading motorcycle manufacturers are in countries engaged in trade spats with the US, including Yamaha, Honda, and Kawasaki of Japan, Ducati in Italy, and BMW in Germany. However, one possibility is that Trump could entice BMW and Honda to expand their current US operations. Harley, meanwhile, has plants in Brazil, India, Australia, and Thailand, notes CNBC. It's closing a plant in Kansas City, but that work is being transferred to a facility in York, Pa., not overseas.
