I don't know what the difference is between them, but my wife hates the bras sold in the U.S. and will only buy new ones whenever she is in Japan.

In June 2018, iconic American motorcycle manufacturer Harley-Davidson announced it would start producing some of its products overseas due to the tariffs imposed by the EU in retaliation to President Donald Trump’s trade policy. This June, Harley-Davidson launched a new partnership with a manufacturer in China to expand its overseas production.

The original announcement was controversial, and it’s easy to see why. From the car you drive to the jeans you wear, brands often make you feel a particular way about yourself — and that way might be more American. Although brand marketing can be incredibly effective, it often misleads people. Some products that have “American” as part of their names or slogans actually do very little assembling — if any — in the U.S.

You’ll find that some of these “American” companies are owned by corporations outside the U.S. Of course, that doesn’t mean their products are any less reliable. Click through to see a rundown of popular so-called American brands that manufacture products elsewhere in the world.

L.L.Bean, Levi Strauss & Co., New Balance, Radio Flyer, Brach’s Confections, Inc., & Gerber Baby Food make a small portion of the items they sell in the states, while the majority of product is outsourced. It's inferred their products are USA, and most people are more than willing to accept things at face value as true; like the MS News.
