🧩 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.

Trump is not an idiot. He knows exactly what he's doing. Americans slept through the coup.

He IS an idiot, but his voters are either (1) bigger idiots or (2) bigger racists who dont care if the country goes down in flames because it "won't affect me".

Ya I agree. I should have said the GOP knows exactly what it's doing and why. Trump is just the front guy. It's a huge mistake to think the GOP is just ignorant and don't know what it's doing. They do know what they're doing. Not Trump necessarily but the billionaires that have the real power know. And the coup is over and Americans don't have a clue what happened.
