I sure hope the U.S. has all the raw iron, coal, uranium, potash and lumber they need to become an island onto themselves. What They don't? Weird.
The U.S. is one of the few countries that actually does have sufficient raw resources to be an island unto itself. It would be sub-optimal to be sure, but doable.
Trump intends to keep buying it from these countries for the same price. He’ll just charge the American people an extra 50% to access it, instead of charging billionaires and mega corporations taxes.
