Dairy and Lumber for Canada. Looks like its going to be weapons grade Aluminum for China.

Rumor has it, there is only *one* small weapons grade aluminum smelter in the USA. I believe it.

The holy grail to me is: Nickel and Britain. Probably just as if not more important than gold or oil.

That's what they say.

I mean - retailers in Canada like to put labels on things and rebrand them as being produced locally too.

Trump seems to think its not only a trade issue, but a national security issue. It shouldn't be a national security issue if you have complete control over production.
