Mexico is now with the EU and China when it comes to trade. Same with Canada. US is perceived as being too unreliable.
China’s exports to the US are now only 3% of their GDP. China has most of the world’s rare earth mineral reserves, and can bring us to our knees.
The USD has lost much of its value, and those dollars will be coming home. All because of Trump’s export policy.
