Me four years ago — “I sure hope Trump doesn’t confiscate my money/assets and deport me to China with nothing because I’m ethnic Chinese…”
Me right now — “If Daddy Trump absolutely has to please just take my money and assets and let me go back to the PRC.”
The White House said China is now facing up to a 245 percent tariff on imports to the U.S. "as a result of its retaliatory actions," another escalation in a trade war between the world's two largest economies.
The top potential tariff is higher than the previously stated 145 percent and was referenced in a fact sheet published by the White House late on Tuesday.
It accompanied an executive order signed by President Donald Trump that launched an investigation into the "national security risks posed by U.S. reliance on imported processed critical minerals and their derivative products."
Newsweek has contacted the White House press office by email outside of normal business hours for comment.

Maybe panasonic will tech transfer battery tech aren't they also a big partner of Tesla?\
US made trophy?
I doubt Tasla will spend the money to build the supply chain, at least not in the short term. For the rest of the world, China and Germany would have the capacity to handle, plus with the downturn in sales thanks to the AOE damage from Trump, meeting demand wouldn’t be an issue at all.
That just leaves the raw material and refining that need to happen to supply the US gigafactory, since they can’t get the material from China anymore, India would be the next best option, get the refined material at the cheapest rate possible and leave the slag to the Indians to deal with.
Most importantly, I doubt Tasla has that much spare capital to invest into a completely new supply chain and it wouldn’t make any business sense to invest such an amount at such a volatile time other than to solve the most immediate of problems.

Well ,well ,well-a good retaliation is when one of these MAGA idiots or their familes get cancer and only CHINA can cure it-just say no.
From a purely tactical perspective, it should be obvious the more desperate you look, the less likely the other side will give you a deal, even people haggling with street vendors knows this.
It's pretty pathetic the US economy can't even handle the impact from pretending to not be desperate.
