      Australia is the biggest producer of Bauxite (the main ore used to make aluminium) in the world btw

      His aluminium tariff is his dumbest by far. America depends on ore imports as it doesn’t have the deposits to mine it. Makes zero sense to me

      Also I don’t get this, he wants Australia to export less aluminium? The fuck?

      > Australia has disregarded its verbal commitment to voluntarily restrain its aluminum exports to a reasonable level.

      Australia should be ashamed – ASHAMED – of what they have done to the United States with their aluminium. In America they haven’t ever heard of aluminium, but it’s destroying their country.

      You know, I was just thinking yesterday if we had any allies besides Israel there Trump hadn’t pissed off in 3 weeks and Australia was the only one I could think of.

      Oh well.

      reminder that US importers pay the tariffs, not exporters. hopefully accelerates the materials transition to titanium and carbon fiber

      Gotta name something after this baboon asap. How about The Great Trumpy Desert? Or The Gulf of Trumpentaria?

      What is Trumps 9-5? Watch 6 hours of Fox News, tell Elon ‘yeah do whatever you want’ and then 1-2 hours of calling up allies to threaten tariffs?
