Trump is not in a HURRY by the looks...!!!!!""""""Today news""""""""
If Trump is serious about China, he can’t ignore Africa - Washington Examiner
Donald Trump must pay greater attention to African nations such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo if he wants to pare back China's hostile influence.www.washingtonexaminer.com
(Bloomberg) -- Relief that Donald Trump will hold off from imposing China-specific tariffs on his first day in office propelled US equity futures higher on Monday. The dollar slumped.
Despite administrative and policy changes in the US, I'm not holding my breath waiting for Mr Trump to ride in and smite all those who have done the dirty on AVZ. I believe the US remains too busy playing catch-up footy and fighting rear guard actions against the Chinese in other areas, and Mexicans to concern itself with a tiny piss-ant like AVZ, despite the eye-watering size and quality of the resource. The US is looking to advance its strategic minerals reserves domestically where possible, rather than rely on critical materials mined in some corrupt-to-the-bone far away country.
As we are all aware, the USA didn't suddenly and without warning arrive at this point. It got there through years of kicking the can down the road, Wongesque-like appeasement of Beijing and decades of misguided focus on the intractable cesspool of hatred and tit-for-tat revenge that is the Middle East...and a few other no-win distractions.
The USA (and also Europe) have no one to blame but themselves for the supply squeeze they now find themselves in.
Without doubt, neo-colonist China is the dominant rent-seeking parasite in Africa, and is proving a more malignant colonist than even the worst of the early colonists, Belgium and Germany. It has managed to enslave African nations without firing a shot. Graft, bribery and corruption are its weapons of choice.
When all the riches are stripped and shipped, China will walk away leaving the degradation, the pollution and the poverty for future generations to manage.
In the meantime, I believe we remain largely on our own; abandoned by our own government and the west generally. However, the recent CATH deal was like CPR at the 59th minute. This gives us some hope of a negotiated resolution...possibly in 2025.
Just thinking out aloud.
Cheers

Great find Frank.
Interestingly, CATL's TENER batteries (as proposed for the Saudi battery) use lithium carbonate, rather than lithium hydroxide as the precursor material.
This may explain why AVZ's announcement on 8 Jan 2025, said that AVZI will be granted an option to purchase up to 49% of CATH's interest in a lithium hydroxide or carbonate conversion plant (LHC Plant) to be built by CATH.
I was intrigued at the time why carbonate got a mention.

I guess this is sort of Lithium related, a fucken good laugh at a minimum. I'm guessing the first of many second Trump presidency gaffs to come, the last round was always good for the meme stocks.
And no this isnt a random screen grab taken out of context.
All welcome the king of electric cars, space X and Twitter Elon Goebbels

Saw the clip, everyone’s calling it a ‘Roman salute’ honestly NFI what it is.. overexcited about kicking all the Mexicans out??? Who knows
WOW what a day in US politics. I see Moise Katumba got an invite to the gig, that will piss Felix off! Also 2.1 million Congolese illegal citizens in the US. Trump is going to send them back to the DRC, if I could see Felix's face. Lots of pressure going to be applied by Trump. I can feel it in my plums!

Go AVZ!
When I see Trump release Mossads links to 9/11, their links to Epstein Island and the clients list, and their links to JFK's murder then I might start to take him seriously, might, might not, because that's just the tip of the iceberg and so far it looks like he's just controlled opposition.
In relation to any of them helping us, meh, I'll wait for my money in the bank after several years of getting shafted by almost every crook on the planet
