Trump threatens XI with massive tariff increases

[drudge X]

Well, this is certainly the playing field that Trump elected to get into, and he has to pay the price, given that China is using their clear edge (hammer) to hurt us and will hurt us.

AI Overview

Rare earth elements are crucial because their unique magnetic, electrical, and chemical properties enable critical modern technologies, including high-performance magnets in electric vehicles and wind turbines, phosphors for lighting and screens, and catalysts for petroleum refining and chemical processing. They are essential components for a vast range of applications, from electronics and medical devices to defense and the transition to clean energy, driving both economic growth and national security.

So they can hurt the US but when Trump returns the favor, he's the bad guy. Have you seen what China is doing to the European economy and South America's economy?

Trump's threats aren't worth the hot air they are printed on.

He's finding out that other leaders know how to play hardball. He thought they'd all run to him begging for a deal.

What is happening now, with China putting export controls on rare earths and them having 70% of the global rare earths and 90% of the world production, Trump is showing his total incompetence.

He started the trade war and made China the primary nation to raise tariffs on. Unfortunately, when you add Russia to China as adversaries and you put both together against the U.S., they have 20.3% of the world's land mass (compared to the U.S. with 7.2%) and have 1.55 billion citizens (compared to the U.S. with 365 million, which is only 1/4 of citizens), meaning that if you are looking for the bully pulpit to see who wins, China and Russia are the giants here.

This proves what Trump is doing:

but, but, but the European and South Americans are actually against Trump, aren't they?

when you put this altogether and put military power aside, this is what you get:

and this is what you get with Trump

Trump is whining that reciprocity for his far left trade war is unfair.

What an idiot.

"I didn't see that coming!"

Who would Europeans side with? This isn't a trick question.

The idiots are the companies still having a foothold in China. The smart ones left.

With themselves! India, Japan, Canada etc. as well

The DOW generated sell signals today and the SPX and NASDAQ generated a key reversal week, meaning the high for this rally has been made

It is truly funny how today's action in the market, and more importantly the reasons for it, have suddenly caused the Trump supporters to "shut up".

Trump says he will impose a 100% tariff on China​

The move comes as a once-cooling trade war has been rekindled, with China announcing a series of new limits on the trade of rare earth elements

 

[CrusaderFrank]

The shame of it is that the CIA has been more interested in destabilizing Russia than in securing Rare Earths for America

So you believe India is a consumption economy? You think the average Indian can afford Gucci or fine French wine? Japan have no need for European goods. Japan is an export economy. Japan can produce their own goods without import except for raw materials.

Canada? Don't me are me laugh. Yeah, The European economy can survive selling to Canada.

Shut up? I am elated. I am loading more cheap stocks and ETFs.

Then I assume you support Trump's plan to take back Bragram air base?

China's president Xi put on export controls on "rare" earth's out of China and in return Trump threatened to raise tariffs on China in a massive way.

Trump threatens ‘massive’ tariff hike on China over rare earths dispute​

It does seem that the relationship with China is deteriorating strongly and has begun to be a conflict that does open the door for big problems to occur.

The stock market has taken a strong turn downward (for example, the DOW was up 200+ points this morning and is now down 500 points.

Trump is trying to bully China, and China says "well, go ahead and this is what we'll do, we also have power". And Trump keeps threatening tariffs like a boy throwing stones at some girls he fancies, but she thinks he's a dick.

I'm so sick of this crap.

First, I trust nothing that comes out of China in terms of economic data.

Second, let's see the operating costs for these sales.

Third, stop rooting against America and Judeo-Christian values. It's been going on for too long and it's long overdue that America leads the way and walks us back from the abyss

Think!

Manufacturers pay the tariffs. The people dont pay them because we dont have to buy. The price comes down because the manufacturers have to sell. Inflation is slowing after 9 months of tariffs

The end user always pays all the costs, including tariffs.

The only people who do not see this blinding glimpse of the obvious are. idiots and Trump cultists.
