US Tariff War

[Elbow beards]

In an unsurprising potential result of Trump’s imbecilic trade rules, the US is royally messed up on their rare earth access, and has no chance of replacing the imports from china in the next 10+ years, so effectively muzzling their ability to produce high tech (especially defense big tickets - f35, subs)
But hey, MAGA! USA! Trump!

China's REE restrictions will affect US military readiness

World war fee: Trump’s tremendous trade tussle triggers troubling twist, theoretically

Edit: well I suppose it further explains the Canada/greenland land grab

Ha, ha what a fucking tool he is. This is what happens when you put someone in charge that doesn't look further than the end of his nose. He's bankrupted businesses now he's trying to bankrupt the country.

As long as Trump is making the rich people rich, the power brokers more power, the media owners more wealth he is succeeding and will not be brought down. Dumb twats voting is what the problem is.

We usually buy Pantene (Procter and Gamble) but today we needed some new shampoo and we bought Sunsilk (Unilever) instead. That'll show them.

Ukraine is where the US will get their rare earth elements from. This was always going to be the deal - same as our ww2 lend lease which we only finished paying in 2006.

I think it’s Greenland, he will declare a state of emergency with China withholding stuff, it will give him the excuse to invade and fuck what the rest of the world think. Ukraine won’t sell out to him.

Can Musk be done for actively helping lower shareholder value, being on the Tesla board?

China cancel all beef imports gone with Australia instead, farmers will be going bump soon, art of the deal.

38% down since the start of January
That's some fucking hit

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

I'm predicting Trump softens his tariff plan on the morning of the 23rd. Will announce some trade deals and a something positive with China.

Watch this space.
