“Trump can't seem to take a trick right now.”. That’s an interesting turn of phrase for the current situation.Phew, just read the news of the LA riots, with US marines on high alert...WTF! And around the globe things are also escalating as Trump can't seem to take a trick right now.
The bright spot on the horizon is the peace signing ceremony in Washington. But boy, I'm holding my breath watching things going to shit real fast, hoping we can make these last few hurdles.
Yet super grateful AVZ is first cab off the rank, once the deal is signed. For that will be just the start of an incredibly difficult path for the US in managing the peace to attract western investors:
The credibility of the US minerals deal is uncertain. Much will depend on Washington’s ability to manage regional political tensions and convert high level promises into tangible investments.
Good luck with that because I'll be long gone by then, sitting in the sun telling the grand kids about our great escape. Phew.

With trade cratering we have nervous bond markets and historians looking for historic precedents that might hint at the economic future. For all intents and purposes, the US is finished (that’s a different discussion for a different forum) - my concern right now is the U.S dollar cratering hard and fast affecting our (USD-demonimated) buy-out.
