This allows America to rearm and continue murdering innocent people. America’s military was getting ready to resupply when the rare earth ban came into effect. Why even negotiate with America anymore. They were in a winning position and they just gave it up. China can go without America but America can’t go without China. And they didn’t even remove all of the tarifs just some of them. China could have gotten far more for that deal if they even wanted to make it. It just feels like a big mistake.
Much like the bullshit Ukraine rare earths story awhile back, Australia is not going to fix US supply chains.
If Australia was a competitive replacement, Trump wouldn’t have to lie about all the rare earth deals he’s closed with Xi.
P.S. Trump was saying before the Xi meeting that negotiations would be difficult. Now suddenly it’s all good? I am very doubtful.
Lying makes more sense, unless I’m missing something.
