Replacing War with Trade 7-9-25

Trump is threading the needle to remove corruption in trade and end wars and aggression. Trump is encouraging other countries to “put their people first”.  Listing the Trading Partners in this blog shows trade with friend and foe alike. This should continue to allow a “Free Market” global economy. Trump will sanction countries who are aggressive and corrupt. We now have companies around the world with holdings in other countries. This puts companies on an even footing and allows consumers to buy what they want and “may the best products win”. Countries can compete for jobs if they offer incentives to invest. Trump encourages countries to produce what they consume to save transportation costs and is increasing the global energy supply to reduce energy costs.  

Trump would like to see China, Russia and Iran begin to put their people first and end their aggressive behavior with neighboring countries. This would allow them to divert funds to infrastructure and product development to grow their economies to benefit their people. China, Russia and Iran have not invested enough in their “Private Sector”. They have invested too much in their Military Power and Population Control in order to encourage their populations to comply with credible threats of brutal force.

China does not allow their citizens to vote for government leaders. China’s Communist Party Members do vote for China’s leaders. China jails all dissenters.

Russia does allow their citizens to vote, but Russia poisons all viable political contenders. Russia is no longer a Communist Country, but has become a 1 party dictatorship.

Iran does allow their citizens to vote, but the Ayatollah controls who will be on the ballot. Iran is not a Communist Country, but is a 1 party dictatorship.

Trump is replacing war with total economic isolation using trade where possible and this works in Iran.

Trump is using sanctions and NATO support expansion to 5% of DGP to encourage Russia to end the Ukraine War.

Trump is using trade deals to meet US needs and China’s requests.

Trump is taking customers away from China, Russia and Iran to reduce the revenue they use to threaten other countries and oppress their citizens. Trump is encouraging these countries to reduce the oppression of citizens and “put their citizens first”.

Trump wants to export US oil and natural gas to reduce the US Trade Deficit. India and Japan want US oil and natural gas. The EU wants a deal that doesn’t involve lowering EU Member Country Taxes, but Europe does want US oil and natural gas.

China wants the US to continue to allow Chinese Students to attend US Universities. The US wants rare earth materials from China.

All countries will benefit from the US increasing oil and natural gas production. As the global supply increases, the price of oil and natural gas will cost less. All countries who need and can build Nuclear Power Plants to produce electricity will benefit from lower costs.

Trump’s policies are aimed at increasing US “Private Sector” GDP. Trump’s 10% import Tariffs will help the US pay down the National Debt.  Trump’s 15% Corporate Tax for foreign auto plants will restore US jobs. Trump’s plan to increase mining and allow the US to mine its own rare earth material. Trump’s plan to reduce US forest fires and increase US Lumber production will result in US self-sufficiency and US jobs. Trump’s plan to deport Illegals will result in more US Jobs and higher US wages. Trump’s plan to use AI will increase US Productivity. Trump’s plan to reduce the cost and scope of the US Government will reduce the National Debt and interest costs. Trump’s plan to use AI to upgrade US Government systems will result in better Productivity and more reliable data.
