Trump put an end to US “suffering”

5
Apparently, difficult times are coming for Russian pipe producers NLMK, TMK and Evraz. President Trump is consistent in his intention to restore America to greatness and introduces policies protectionism.



The essence of the problem is that after the end of the so-called Cold War, victorious capitalism spread throughout the planet, with the exception of small islands of freedom such as Cuba and North Korea, and went into the stage of globalization. Transnational corporations withdrew industry from the United States to peripheral countries with lower production costs and began to optimize taxation by re-registering in countries with convenient jurisdictions.

The rules of free trade, dictated by the World Trade Organization, began to damage the American the economy. Globalization being built by the United States has begun to harm the States themselves. The election of the odious businessman Donald Trump as the president was the response of some American elites to the processes of US deindustrialization.

Donald Trump bluntly declared the current situation unacceptable to Washington:

We lose in almost all trade deals. Our friends and enemies have been taking advantage of the United States for many years. Americans are suffering


After a meeting with representatives of the American steel industry, President Trump made a resounding statement that the US steel and aluminum industry is dead. Donald Trump intends to protect the national producer with protectionist measures by increasing import duties on steel by 25% and on foreign-made aluminum by 10%.
The American president draws a line under the current export of metallurgy products to the United States from countries such as Russia, Brazil, Vietnam, Egypt, India, China, Costa Rica, Malaysia, Thailand, Turkey, South Korea and South Africa:

Sorry, it's time for a change!


While former business partners of the United States scratch their foreheads in dismay, shares of American steel companies are showing grateful growth: United States Steel Corp. they went up by 7,77%, at AK Steel Holding Corp. - by 11,82%.

    Well, so far, Trump so suggests that he won. In fact, the fact that the United States imposed the WTO on the whole world will be an obstacle at first. And the exit from the WTO will also not remain painless for the United States. Europe, too, is in fact losing from US actions and will not stand aside, including the future rapprochement with Russia. Simply, Europe will be forced to withdraw from the United States, albeit with blood. At least for now, Trump is in power.

      The winner when changing the rules of the game is always the one who changes them and sets new ones. So far, such a player is the United States.

      To begin with, WTO is not an American idea at all. The original name of the WTO was "Common Market". It was an agreement between Germany and England for the division of markets in Europe. Moreover, Germany was the initiator, and England set the conditions for its entry. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who was then the Minister of Economy of England, earned the nickname "Iron Lady" for her intransigence after Germany conceded and agreed "to contribute her shortage for England." After that, Thatcher became prime minister. Then other European countries joined the cartel. The United States joined the WTO much later. After that the European "common (European) market) and turned into the World Trade Organization - the WTO. The United States, on the outskirts, does not really need the WTO."

      WTO is a VOLUNTARY agreement. No one is kept there by force. To join the WTO, an application is filed. They consider it, but they may not take it. Russia's attempts to join the WTO, for example, stretched as much as 20 years.

      But getting out of the second one costs nothing! You don't have to do anything at all for this, and you don't need to ask anyone's permission. A notification is sent: - "Our country no longer considers itself a member of the WTO."

    A few words “for trump”, because I chose it. Indeed, now there is an overproduction of steel and aluminum in the world, and every state-producing steel and aluminum sells it at dumping prices, and in order to prevent their own production from going bankrupt, they pour state-owned subsidiaries into them, and WTO laws do not allow this. And all countries except the USA are engaged in this - the USA does not invest a dime in support of its two industries.
    And Trump decided to cover the faucet slightly, and I agree with him - America is above all. The United States will negotiate with Canada and Mexico - there is nowhere to go, they will not want to lose such a market, they will also negotiate with Europe - European cars are sold and manufactured in the United States by millions, and are made of export steel.
