Let's start with the fact that Donald Trump, who became president 4 months ago, promised to end the conflict between Russia and Ukraine in literally three weeks.
Instead, he managed to make peace with Russia, quarrel with Ukraine, then make peace again, and quarrel again with Ukraine, and quarrel again with Russia.
His first term as president was marked by accusations of tariffs on steel and aluminum and some others regarding South Korean goods and China and a machine gun was fired immediately after he became president in 2016.
It is interesting that, for example, he introduced tariffs on washing machines from South Korea without any discussion with South Korea.
when elected for a second term he first threatened to impose tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico then agreed to postpone the introduction of tariffs giving them a chance to come to an agreement but now he has introduced them again and not only against Canada and Mexico but also against a large number of other countries, almost all of which trade quite a lot with the United States of America.
What's interesting is that the countries that suffered the most were Asian countries, whose tariffs are generally higher than those of European countries and their closest trading partners, Canada and Mexico.
The White House wife stated on her official page that access to the American market is a privilege and not a right and in general tariffs were Donald Trump's election promise and it must be fulfilled.
Also the statement that cheap imports have caused huge damage to the United States of America during the presidency of John Biden and America needs to return to its Golden Age.
in fact, for more than 20 years now, many economic publications around the world have been mentioning the problems of the trade balance with the US, which in absolute figures has reached a huge size even for the growing economy of the United States, and no one has asked all this time how the US is going to correct it.
The problem of the trade balance itself arose in 1976, which has only been negative since then. And so on, in principle, China's growth began, which 40 years later turned into a huge economic problem for the United States of America. a
let's not speculate why this problem wasn't solved 20 years ago during donald trump's first term or by another president.
That is, in fact, they can be mined almost anywhere. And their cost is very volatile and it is impossible to predict which of them minerals will really be needed in the next 5-10 years and whether they will be needed at all.
The situation is more like Ukraine, which has nothing in resourses, but a large territory in Europe, has nothing else to offer the US, and the US really wants to take something in exchange for the 500 billion in aid they have provided over the past 3 years.
A more interesting situation was written in the press about 10 years ago.
The fact is that the US suddenly became concerned about China occupying the production and consumption of rare earth materials and even imposed a ban on their export, thereby making some important American sectors of the economy vulnerable.
The solution however was found interesting the USA decided to stimulate Vietnam to develop production of rare earth metals Although as Wikipedia information shows this can be done in almost any large country.
However, despite the fact that the US concern about rare earth metals appeared about 10 years ago, according to the data available in the press, the situation has not changed in the main.
China continues to be the world leader in the production and consumption of rare earth metals and the rest is mined in countries that also mine a lot of metals, such as the USA, Australia and Canada.
If we speak literally then in fact much rarer and much more important and useful for the industry metals are not called rare they are called noble.
The only problem is that these noble metals or so-called platinum group metals are concentrated in only two large deposits on the entire globe, one of them is in Russia, Norilsk Nickel, and the other is in Canada.
Well, since Ukraine, as has already been said above, has nothing else in Europe, which is relatively large, then we will have to take what there are rare earth metals, which are found there in small quantities.
Despite the fact that the Americans claim that they helped Ukraine with 500 billion dollars, and the entire market of earth metals for the last year World was only 6 billion dollars.
However, in big politics, few people count the numbers; if it were necessary to help Ukraine with 500 trillion dollars, it would most likely be carried out in the same way as If it were necessary to find incredibly important rare earth metals there that have not yet been found anywhere, they would also most likely be found.
