President Donald Trump insisted that “nobody needed magnets” until a Chinese plot “convinced” the world to use them 20 years ago.
During a Monday Oval Office meeting with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, Trump reflected on his relationship with China.
“They have to give us magnets, if they don’t give us magnets, and then we have to charge them 200 percent tariff for something, you know,” the president said. “You know, China intelligently went and they sort of took a monopoly of the world’s magnets, and nobody needed magnets until they convinced everybody 20 years ago, let’s all do magnets.”

“There were many other ways that the world could have gone.”
Trump promised that the U.S. would be “heavy into the world of magnets” within the following year.
“I sent them all of the parts so their planes can fly,” the president said of China. “You know, we had 200 of their planes were unable to fly because we were not giving them Boeing parts purposely because they weren’t giving us magnets.”
“But the magnet situation, we have tremendous power over them, and they have some power over us with magnets,” he added. “We’re going to have a lot of magnets in a pretty short period of time.”

The Nobel Peace Prize?
Surely Krasnov is a shoo-in for the Einstein Prize for Physics?
Genius!
Industrial magnets are used for many things to benefit society including turbines, EVs removing metals from medicines and electronics, but your TDS condition wouldn’t allow you to be informed……….carry on………
Article is not about magnets.
It’s about a person spouting drivel about something he knows less than nothing about.
Something this one does almost constantly.
It’s okay for a person to be a brainless babbling fool, like trump, but it’s deeply disturbing that this word salad chef and criminal gets voted into office. I don’t understand many of my fellow Americans anymore. We are a giant loony bin.
We don’t want foreigners in our country. We want globaliZation to stop. Although i voted for Kamala, i agree with Trump 100% on immigration. We are a family and not a place for everyone. Bad asses survive, naïve shit will be eaten.
I’m also no fan of massive immigration.
Why not just drop the tariff BS and get back to the system that made the US the economic powerhouse of the world, and stop whining about China. It is the good ole US that opened the door to trade with China in the 70s. Is it the fault of China that the US and EU closed down factories for cheap Chinese goods?
