The US will move production to "friendly" countries. Who's on the list

The world is again divided into two blocs, and this will not be without consequences for the global economy. In the new book "Sold out. How shattered supply chains, rapidly rising inflation and political instability will sink the global economy, ”American economist, best-selling author James Rickards suggests that Washington will begin to subordinate the economy to political interests - will force large companies to transfer production to the United States and to the territory of allied countries. If these firms refuse, they can block access to Western markets.

“If Apple wants to manufacture in CHINA and sell in China, fine, but this company will not be allowed to enter the American market,” Rickards describes the possible logic of the American authorities. And at the same time, Apple will be closed and access to the markets of countries that are allies of the United States. “It is not as destructive as it seems,” the author writes. “There are a lot of competitors in the manufacturing sector who are waiting for their opportunity.” Many of his predictions are beginning to come true before our eyes: American ministers are talking about "free but safe trade." Rickards predicts that the Western bloc will leave the door open for RUSSIA, allowing China to be weakened .
