"The opening of the Marriott Port-au-Prince is an important milestone as the people of Haiti work to revitalize and diversify their economy […] I am grateful to Marriott and Digicel for their commitment to this project, and hope that its success will inspire further investment and opportunity in Haiti," said former US President Bill Clinton.
Marriott CEO Arne Sorenson declared "We believe we can make a difference in Haiti by promoting tourism, and developing local talent that can help lift this country, over time, back to being one of the top travel destinations in the Caribbean."
Now it should be more clear why so much ranting & raving about "free trade" & "evil tariffs".
Who's paying those shouting the loudest?
Related notes on Harley. They should be the last company whining given their sordid history. Sound comped & connected like the rest of those upper crusters in Wisconsin.

In 1952, following their application to the U.S. Tariff Commission for a 40% tax on imported motorcycles, Harley-Davidson was charged with restrictive practices.
In 1969, American Machine and Foundry (AMF) bought the company, streamlined production, and slashed the workforce. This tactic resulted in a labor strike and lower-quality bikes.
In the early eighties, Harley-Davidson claimed that Japanese manufacturers were importing motorcycles into the US in such volume as to harm or threaten to harm domestic producers. After an investigation by the U.S. International Trade Commission, President Reagan imposed in 1983 a 45% tariff on imported bikes with engine capacities greater than 700 cc. Harley-Davidson subsequently rejected offers of assistance from Japanese motorcycle makers.[60] However, the company did offer to drop the request for the tariff in exchange for loan guarantees from the Japanese.
In 1998 the first Harley-Davidson factory outside the US opened in Manaus, Brazil, taking advantage of the free economic zone there. The location was positioned to sell motorcycles in the southern hemisphere market.
