Thanks Maurice, USD 20 MM is a rounding error for BHP. But I agree with your principles on this one. -R.

Perhaps marcos with his finely tuned inter-American economic compass [having gone from La Paz to Mazatlan via Mexico City, his chronometer is entirely a different thing] will chime in on this point, but it seems that Mexican steel will get a huge boost as it is not affected by the latest tariffs. Will presumably result in foreign investment. There may be money to be made in the Mexican steel sector.

Hi Maurice, I will depart Hangzhou for Jiaxing in about two hours. A drive to Jiaxing takes about an hour, and we will lunch with the other local partner who did not get to buy our shares, though tried hard to block Jay from selling to the favored (fast paying, honest, sincere) partner in Hangzhou. Jiaxing is where the Communist Party was founded way back when, on a boat hidden amongst the reed in the many lakes and rivers in the area. The local partner, part of the municipal government and party apparatus, is pissed off at me. I will only indulge on food first sampled by others. <<[death by 1000 cuts is still death]>> Yes, true, but more exquisite and consciousness raising. <<China will buy our steel>> Yes, China is already, along with your wood products, lamb and other goodies. Should you wish to export the loyal puppies to the Cantonese, they will eat them too, steamed or BBQed. Sorry, CB, nothing hostile against the Cantonese, just an observation of facts. <<The USA will be happy not having to associate with either of us>> Some in the US want to be left to themselves, cut off from Chinese plastic slippers, Arabian oil, Japanese infrared digital camera that can peek through Brittany's outfits, and recycled trade dollar equity and debt capital, not to mention real estate mortgage funds. Some in the US also like to have more expensive cars, made from costly domestic steel, or imported from newly appreciating Yen. Some in the US do not, and so we will just have to see how democracy work out, this time hopefully without charges and counter-charges of unfair, with allegedly fudged vote counts and rumored criminally financed campaigns. Oops, I am being either negative or hostile, but not nearly to the same extent as that Icelandic fellow. Chugs, Jay
