Oh yeah.
Tariffs aren't the only trade weapon.
Outright import/export bans are like the ICBMs of a trade war.

World leaders are not afraid of Trump and his stupidity. They know they can manipulate him & hold him by the 🎾🏀 & twist them! Harris wouldn’t allow China to do any of this!

paneintheazz.bsky.social•91 days ago

GOOD! Fuck them too! They make out and the FASCIST TRAITOR makes out on THAT deal! 🤬. Idiots!

wonder-woman2.bsky.social•82 days ago

I f*cking hate the shitgibbon and everyone who voted for him.

boomerboy60.bsky.social•91 days ago

Well well well, never saw THIS coming- more to come I’m sure. Thanks a lot MAGAt’s!

So much for America tooling up cheap manufacturing to replace all those Amazon and Temu products… buh bye.

Given Ukraine is also a big source… icing on the cake of these idiots not grasping reality.

China has gone across the globe using its wealth to buy influence into 3rd world countries to secure Rare Earth minerals need in advance tech

We underestimate China's 50 & 100 Year plans at our peril China is 4,000-year-old society, will confidently ride out Trump's next 4 years as a blip in time

ellyy4.bsky.social•91 days ago

Yup

churlishbvillain.bsky.social•90 days ago

This is just the cover Trump is looking for to push through on strip mining more of the US. That's the "diversification of sources," we'll end up seeing.

shortdorn.bsky.social•91 days ago

They should wait until January 20th, 4 pm….

Can anyone explain to me like I'm a 3rd grader, why these particular items are so valuable?

johnnymack619.bsky.social•91 days ago

Gallium and germanium are used in semiconductors, while germanium is also used in infrared technology, fibre optic cables and solar cells. Antimony is used in bullets and other weaponry, while graphite is the largest component by volume of electric vehicle batteries.

michlady75.bsky.social•91 days ago

Ukraine's Eastern oblasts hold a wealth a rare earth minerals, this is why Putin's really fighting for these areas, and Crimea for his Russian Black Sea Naval Base.

johnnymack619.bsky.social•91 days ago

That makes much more sense than denazification as Putin put it. That was obviously a lie.

smugatlantis.bsky.social•91 days ago

Did we just find massive deposits of those rare earth metals here in the states?

gopjesus.bsky.social•91 days ago

How do you spell recession?

cannafriendlymama.bsky.social•91 days ago

Recession? I would be looking into what caused the Great Depression, if I was you....🫣

ellyy4.bsky.social•91 days ago

Now we really may run low on bullets like Trump once accused someone else of

tartansphynx.bsky.social•91 days ago

They didn’t even bother with pesky tariffs, just went straight to banning (and the throat.) Very surgical selection, too. They’re not clowning around.

jimlockard.bsky.social•91 days ago

We are already reaping the rewards of the election!

happycraycray.bsky.social•91 days ago

Like I allude to here, these 4 years are going to be remembered as the administration of FAFO 🤣

carriechops.bsky.social•91 days ago

Eep.
