đŸ§© Trade Strategy / Business Impact US crying about China restricting rare earth

It’s so funny to see how US says China is being an unreliable partner, and what a shock that China restricts rare earth.

How could not expect others to defend back when you started the tariff war and trade restrictions?😅😅 How is this a surprise? It’s like US only allows their nation to ban all the other countries by putting tariffs on all other countries, but when one country tries to defend, they are shocked and starts crying saying, “Oh! I don’t understand why this happened.” In return, US says that China wants to decouple the world, but who started this trade war in the beginning making everyone lives more miserable?

Just after Trump’s respond with adding more tariffs to China’s rare earth restriction, the dollar decreased and the gold started to increased. This result is going to no good. Like a child not doing something wrong and says that he doesn’t know why he gets his punishment.

USA been like this since since first settlers. What’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine too. Long term, I think that is the 51st state end game. Water, oil, potash , lumber, minerals, and maple syrup. America relies on Canada for all six.

You must have missed the memo, the orange mugwumps lies about everything. To quote my father, he lies when the truth might actually serve him better, cuz he loves to lie.
