Trump 2.0 official thread

Even if Apple manage to do that and that is saying something, that put India in Trump sight for increasing tariffs. Trump want smartphones make in the US not in India.

Now that is something that stupid fat orange baby will never see in his life or anyone’s life time for that matter. Just because he can whine like a little bitch about something doesn’t mean anything if he cannot do it. Realistically, it would be more profitable to cut the US market out then to waste billions of dollars to set up shop in the USA (taking 10 years in the process) only to make a massive loss when no one can even buy those phones, I mean the price of something like that alone with break at least 99.5% of every Americans bank account should it ever be sold in the USA, I mean that phone will be worth at least 4k at that point

DJT the man. Stood on stage, played the entire Lee Greenwood song - God Bless the USA - at the Saudi US Investment forum.

Had MSB and entire Saudi delegation stand and listen to the whole song.

Sometimes, I feel like the Saudis are a bunch of cucks ( especially their leaders), like they seriously enjoy this kind of thing

China can come up with a new ban on rare earth in response to this new ban on Huawei AI chips, they can citing use of rare earth imported from China for use in US is against Chinese export laws. China can play it legally with bi-lateral agreement with importing country.

US Export Control law is ILLEGAL if enforce unilaterally, i.e. without agreement from foreign countries to its extraterritoriality laws.

Coward countries always bend to US demand in the past for fearing the military threat of US. Thus they would submit to US demand regardless of illegal status of US domestic laws applying in other countries.

China did rescind most of its rare earth export ban this time. Could be because Beijing does not want too many of its domestic mineral processors to go out of business, which in turn would become a national security issue.

Nope, not only did China not unban anything, China formed a new special task force to crack down on smuggling, lol

Could be because China still wants American companies to go out of business.
Allowing America to surrender and go back to running massive trade deficit with China is the most mercy China will show.

maybe you should look up the ownership of the mineral processors and who their customers are, and look at actual recent news about whether the ban is actually rescinded (its not; it got even stricter).

Rare earth controls are temporarily reduced, meaning in the next 90 days, when an American order is received, an export application must be made, and if approved, the seller can sell to whomever the buyer is.
The ban has become a 90 day "export only on approval" agreement, after which the ban comes back into effect.

American and all international customers, please provide all of the information required below as part of the application process for getting your RE export approval. Please note that any error or omission in the data provided may cause your export application to be rejected.

If this isn’t the most brilliant example of getting capitalists to pay for the rope you will use to hang them with later!

It’s basically getting all of the west’s key buyers and users of RE to self declare to Chinese authorities, who can then build a comprehensive database to allow it to fine tune future sanctions to specifically target designated industries or even companies.

The RE ban might never come back, because that was a very crude and blunt tool, and China is getting the west to actively help it build far more precise tools for later use.

Trillion dollar pledges, defense contracts, Boeing jets, AI investments, standing ovations. These Gulf countries are going all out for Trump.
What’s not to like.

The key word is "pledges"
