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

Good. The European car industry needs it for EVs.

Good timing. EU is about to sanction the import of Russian aluminium.

This is what I expect Canada to do. Turn to Europe. It only makes sense. They are a nato country after all. I hope they won't fold as easily as mexico. Specifically because of Trump's psuedo-subtle threats of making Canada the 51st state. He never said that about Mexico.

And this makes sanctioning Russia a LOT easier. Thanks Donnie!

And Trump might have accidentally solved the oil supply problem too

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.

Witness the sound of me shrugging. Fuck around, find out and all that.

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.

I wish countries would actually issue sanctions against the US, but I guess this is second best

Australia doesn't much care about trade with the US.
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 a 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.
