The USA has had the world’s third worst collapse in exports – just ahead of Israel and Britain, each of which also had incompetent governments mismanage trade policies.
Trump announced punitive tariffs on a range of imported goods in May 2018. Exports have now been below the May 2018 level in every single month since.
The Independent Australia analysis claims It may take years to get back to the trade position Trump inherited. It may take decades to recover the losses incurred over that period. The thousands of farmer suicides during Trump’s rural recession will, of course, never be restored.
Electric vehicles are a pipe dream at this point. The amount of fossil fuels it takes to make and operate them are ridiculous. The auto makers are pandering to the woke crowd.
Henry if people want something and the market provides what they want are you saying that it shouldn’t be allowed? Isn’t that the invisible hand of the free market doing its job? Why do you hate America?
Electric motors are more powerful, faster, and more reliable than gas or diesel engines. Something the oil industry has been trying to suppress for decades.

Because of the erratic trade polices of the Trump admin, the USA is short of computer chips to put in new cars so people are buying used cars.
Did you see the battery powered freight train they rolled out the other day?

There’s going green and there’s going desert brown. I prefer the former.

Worn out batteries from electric cars are so toxic no country other than China will take them. Apparently green energy will poison us all.

Trump’s disastrous tariffs have caused unprecedented damage – possibly lasting decades

Apparently Payne doesn’t think that an auto manufacturer should make its own market decisions…

I guess we should never have electric vehicles. Hybrids neither, right?

Once again, Payne illustrates that he is not very intelligent!
