Is this the consequences of China not willing to help Congo with its civil war? This Congo had to go to the US.

Seems like a pretty messy situation.
I have doubt US alone can manage profitable large scale projects in Africa and US success will depend on its cooperation with Arabs.
before this April 2025 UAE airline venture for Africa with Ethopian airline. this route map of just one airline and Arabs are training human capital for Africa through Ukraine conflict. so i doubt they will allow any one to compete with them.

If the trend continues and the US and China don't reach an "agreement" or whatever that means in the White House these days, in 90 days we are going to see the biggest fall in trade between two nations in peace time, ever, I think the US could suffer a huge supply shock, at the level of an embargo. The irony is that I think this fall in the US trade deficit will only embolden Trump and Ron Vara to go ahead with the rest of their global "reciprocal tariffs" plans.

View attachment 150182

I think the only reason why Trump back down for 90 days in his global reciprocal tariffs was China retaliation that his stooges associated to the turmoil in the bond market, that made Trump panic and he called Bessent, who was NOT included in the reciprocal tariffs initial plans and HE convinced Trump to give him 90 days to make deals, he bought the US economy and markets 90 days before the crash. Probably in the middle of the protests of Ron Vara, who is just waiting these 90 days to continue with his plan of global tariffs. In another words, has China not retaliated against the US, Ron Vara would had gotten his way for global tariffs.

I think the mistake that China did was not letting US to EAT the Ron Vara global tariffs, that would have caused more damage to the US economy than any retaliation.

Actually I predict that after a few weeks of relative stability where no random new paradigm shifting policies are announced, we will see a massive surge in orders and deliveries designed to beat the 90 day tariff resumption window.

So if Trump does actually follow through, the supply shock might be delayed by a few months due to all the stockpiling beforehand.

This should cushion the impact of the tariffs to a large degree, especially initially, so we will probably have to endure a period of ‘I told you so’ gloating from MAGA die hards and bots before economic reality truly hits with a vengeance.
