Yes!
Can’t wait to sink my teeth into sweet sweet freedom aluminum
I wish countries would actually issue sanctions against the US, but I guess this is second best
Hey Europe, how’s it going. Let’s make a deal. We’ll give you 3 aluminium and 2 wood in exchange for 3 cheese and a tractor. Sound good?
Anybody have sheep? What about brick?
🎵 We built this city on wheeeeaaaat and stooooooone!🎵
Will trade sheep for spices or sugar.
Depends, what about the options? Can i have them in red with spolier and chrome wheels?
If there’s one good thing that’ll hopefully come out of this mess, it’s less reliance on the USA and Canada being brought closer to Europe.
I went out of my way to actively avoid American products the last few days, and I will continue to do so for the next 4 years.
Unfortunately, this will not be over in 4 years. The American people have proven that they are unreliable, cruel, and stupid.
Even if someone sane takes office in 4 years it will maybe just give us a 4 year pause until the next lunatic comes in. There can be no long term plans or cooperation with the USA.
Good timing. EU is about to sanction the import of Russian aluminium.
And Trump might have accidentally solved the oil supply problem too
It’s wild that the US thinks it can do all this stuff domestically with natural resources it doesn’t even have.
99% of American bauxite is imported. Australia mined over 1000x more of it than the US did last year
Australia doesn’t give a shit about trade with the US. They are less than 5% of our exports. They are the ones that lose in a trade war.
We care about trade with China and when China got petty and Trumpish we handled it fine by diversifying markets until they got over their hissy fit and returned to their senses.
Often the US is an aggressive competitor in our export markets and if they score some own goals in trade wars our exporters will take the advantage just like they do to us whenever they can.
The real problem is what this idiocy does to the global economy as that impacts everyone.
Australia mined over 1000x more of it than the US did last year
Don’t give them ideas
Yeah but we havent made the shit list yet. I’m literally counting the days.
It’s wild that the US thinks it can do all this stuff domestically with natural resources it doesn’t even have.
Witness the sound of me shrugging. Fuck around, find out and all that.
Good. The European car industry needs it for EVs.
And this makes sanctioning Russia a LOT easier. Thanks Donnie!
Yeah, the EU has been eyeing Russian aluminum import sanctions for a while now. The timing couldn’t be better, cuz it’ll give them that last little push to finally do it.
