Like I said time will tell.

I personally think that Australia is between a rock and a hard place, Trump going into a isolationary stance on trade will hurt Australia, but unless Chinese production growth slows no other country will be able to compete against China on the trade front and all Western countries manufacturing will be finished.

The U.S is probably the only singular place at the moment, that has any influence on Chinese production due to the amount of imports they obtain from China.

Only my opinion, but something has to be done and the last U.S Govt only improved the sales and manufacturing on the arms and munitions front.

The promise of battery manufacturing and solar panel manufacturing in Australia, is what tipped Albo over the line last election, so he is facing the same dilemma that the Democrats did, which is over promising and under delivering.

The U.S saw mass immigration, rampant inflation and the likelyhood of military conflict.

So Trumps back in, whether things improve , we will have to wait and see.
