yes, heard that just now too on the news


can't blame China for doing the same to America, we'll see what the effect of that will be at Wall Street i think


it is good for America to only have their businesses in their own country, however the negative side to this is, many foreign businesses moving out of the country obviously, which will also lead to people losing their current jobs, and then those people will need to go through job interviews again, so i'm not too sure if there are more jobs for americans


since u have the likes of

Boeing, Renault, Toyota, Audi and many more all big foreign companies very likely no longer being in America after all this



so yes, the EU are correct, there are only losers with this

China have started selling US long term bonds that they hold. The price has dropped like a stone. This has big implications on the USA getting future investments for any of its projects

I suspect we will have to repeal and abolish the 2010 Equality Act, in order to get a deal, then it will be lawful to be racist and misogynistic.

Maybe the UK will also have to agree that Ukraine started the War with Russia?
