It's been there since his last term.
"Oiligarchy"
Because if they didn't do that, the people would rise up.
Just like how Canadian Potash was mostly exempted, and that the Moron got really mad when Ontario put an export tariff on electricity.
Because it would affect Yank pocketbooks directly.
That is an interesting idea put an export tax on goods not tariffed.
China is going one step further. Aside from their own tariffs, they have blocked all rare earth mineral exports to the US.
Given that US companies sold them the monopoly they enjoy in the mid to late 2000s, that is amusing.
Also, Trumps entire stated goal is onshoring production, putting export caps and taxes on oil, potash, minerals and electricity directly hurts that goal.
Can't wait to see what ~~US~~ Krasnov Trump does next. China can go a few step further by giving nuclear weapon tech assistance to Iran. That will trigger trump a lot.
I mean no surprises there, but if things go as I imagine it's not going to mean that much any more. If people in the US are buying and travelling less, that will still sink the demand for oil, and if the glut from OPEC continues then it will be game over for many producers.
And oil not destined for transportation is gonna take a hit too. I'm thinking plastics but oil is an extremely versatile material
lol, no wonder russia is not tariffed.
