  • Trump's Deal with China

    From Joseph Pereira@1:124/5016 to All on Tue Dec 30 05:46:55 2025

    China has a 90% control over the global rare earth market. Trump announced a few months ago that he had a deal with China, promising unlimited rare earth supplies for at least a year.

    Just a few months later, traders are realizing that China apparently had a different deal in mind, as there are indeed restrictions on rare earth exports from China.

    Magnet manufacturers, in particular, are noticing the restrictions China is imposing.

    What China is doing is dumping complete magnets onto the global market, putting a real strain on foreign magnet manufacturers. China is forcing them completely out of the market, and Trump is asleep.

    How much longer will the Americans let that orange idiot ruin their economy?

    With 77M voting for him out of a VEP of 245M, I make it 33% who voted for him in 2024.

    So your 50% seems to be slightly exaggerated.
