Unlikely - its a economic response and an emerging trade bloc

Americans have been sleeping on several issues - this is just one of them. (even with the tremendous influence and capital and technology USA has in some sectors etc - USA will never catch up to China - China is that far ahead) - personally I like this because it brings back competition and their fore potentially a great outcome for Australian miners. Competition is always good for progress and better results.

If you look at the various metals / resources and the dominance of China across the supply chain - it will take a while and billions - tens of billions for America to catch up (if possible at all)

They will also have to get rid of the red tape and Restrictive Environmental Laws that significantly hamper miners and oil / gas companies in the USA.

USA has plenty of resources to be self sufficient just not the right political will or political climate.

This is a huge boon for everyone else.

The main issue now for America is the polarisation and deep divide that exists - the two societies that exist.

That will be a growing problem and will impact negatively the governance competition and efficiency of the Americans in every category.

Americans are not what they use to be and neither is the rest of the world.

The gap that use to exist previously has closed dramatically.
