Welcome to OOF
I think the sloping tailgate limits the load carrying space in the rear and I've always had a perception that they would be expensive to fix... 
I love a good conspiracy theory though!
Figures vary slightly, but it appears to be around $850 billion, less than I thought. Japan owns over $1 trillion, while the UK is not far behind China.This is an interesting read, stick with it:

Ask TB nicely.Is he thinking of buying another omega?
Almost all aircraft tyres are remoulds/re-treads - and some of them are rated to a lot higher speeds than any Omega will ever go - aside from driving off a cliff.
You might need to clarify if that figure was EU or Europe. As they are both very different things that the stupid and uneducated* can't seem to grasp
*like our lazy media.
USA GDP is about 25% of world total and is clearly going to take a hit short term.
The EU is about 22%. The next twelve months will be defining. Buy Europe campaign? Spaniards a very loyal customers. We have friends who will never set foot in the Chinese “ pound shops” ( every town has at least one). There will be some tough defence spending decisions. Home produced rather than buy from US. There will be a lot of poring over paperwork going on behind the scenes.
Presumably China and other countries will look to sell their stuff to Europe if the Americans buy less.
