Iron Or
Gargantuan story is developing. China is going to stop exports of rare metals to the USA in retaliation.
This would crater the ability to manufacture many things. Important things.
IMO one of the serious ramifications could be more imminent harm to Ukraine by the United States ( Trump ) as they have rare metals. We get all that stuff from China.
Not getting the rare metals would be devastating to the United States.
China can expand other markets and create new one with the metals and i phones. Tariffs do not prevent a country to stop exports.
IMO another potential escalation retaliation could be calling in debt. That could devastate the world economy.
China is not as prone to citizen unrest as USA is.
China said it will be a fight to the death and they are winning.
Why didn’t tRump realize what China could hold over his head. Heads should roll and the chaos disasterous
campaign is causing paralysis and harmful indecision in businesses. Should they order products and risk buying them with duties on them or do nothing.
tRump has put them between a rock and a hard place.
The stock market is moving up or down upon whatever the White House says. Like a yo-yo.
Good times.
We needed a man like Herbert Hoover again.
