President Donald Trump welcomed a boycott planned by Harley-Davidson owners, calling the move “great,” in response to recent announcements that the motorcycle company intends to move some of its operations overseas.

Trump made the comments in an Aug. 12 post on Twitter following an event at his golf resort in Bedminster, New Jersey, that was attended by “hundreds” from the group “Bikers for Trump” on Aug. 11.
