This is where Trump might be correct. It comes back to a question I asked weeks ago. Would USA be happier being poorer overall but having a more equal distribution of wealth.
the trade war heats up: China stops exports of gallium, germanium, antimony, graphite, and tungsten to USA

Yes.
Data from a v.v.small poll, i admit, but conclusive.
Probably over half the population would be happier, and lets not forget other countries around the world. The global economy does appear in need of some sort of reset. The current trajectory is not going to end well. When billionaires at Davos expressed concern at whether Globalisation had gone too far, their main concern wasn't about the wealth divide, it was about civil unrest, and the fact poor people knew where they lived.
The current trajectory is being accelerated by Brexit, Conservative Party, Donald Trump, Reform party.
I don’t understand that whilst you realise the current trajectory isn’t going to end well, you are an avid supporter of right wing populism and it’s drive for free market capitalism, which has resulted in where we are today.
So you hate the EU because it’s supposedly undemocratic and protectionist.
Wait till you find how China are on those things
I know Notch.

I've always trusted everything the CCP says 100%, so Trump is obviously telling fibs.
I think the Chinese are riars.

Go wash your mouth out.
They are the good guys.....
...now.
If Putin starts attacking Trump sometime over the next few years, I expect the legacy media will wash away his past sins and make him a saint too.
The West “cannot be agnostic or naive” about where goods are made, the Chancellor has told a gathering of foreign finance ministers as she prepares for talks with her US counterpart.
Rachel Reeves told the International Monetary Fund’s spring meetings in Washington that she wanted to see tariffs and trade barriers come down, but added the US “have a point” that global trade had become too unbalanced.
Arguing that the US and UK governments had “a democratic mandate from people to change things”, she said: “There’s been a feeling in my country and in America and many other developed countries that the system we have today delivers for some, but not for all and that jobs have been hollowed out in certain sectors of the economy.”
She went on to say that global trade imbalances were “a problem” because “it does matter where things are made and who makes them”.
The Chancellor said: “We cannot be agnostic or naive about that, especially in the world in which we live today where resilience and security matter more than they have done for a long time.”
Her comments come ahead of a meeting with US Treasury secretary Scott Bessent on Friday, at which she is expected to discuss a potential UK-US trade deal aimed at mitigating the impact of tariffs announced by Donald Trump at the start of April.
Rachel Reeve is being diplomatic.
If she was honest she would probably just say Trump is an idiot
