When people understood, the popular sayings were understandable for everyone and indeed they represented a life lesson. It is appropriate to “play the cat and the mouse”. And that’s exactly what Donald Trump is doing. He plays the cat and mouse on the two tables that rightly considers strategic for the future of America, and with whom the whole West, including Italy, should in the same way compare.
The first game table to try to take the mouse, with little effort and also having fun, is that of the so -called commercial warthat Ca Va Sans say, is always better than the actual war in which the disarmament of a European Union so delegitimized as to suspect that it does not exist and that it is a virtual reality, would like to commit member countries, forgetting for example that to make a cannon shoot or launch a missile, men should also exist in a position to recognize a trigger. Which is not the one that jumps on the meadows.
The second table in which the mouse has the destiny marked is that of “maritime”. Trump and the economists who are helping him to define and apply an international strategy, he understood that the future of the world is played on the seas. That maritime means having strategic tools such as the ability to build their own ships (without risking using “made in china models” equipped with bugs, microchips and tools that are not properly commercial and not properly at the service of the owner who commissioned them in the country that practiced in dumping on labor cost the lowest prices, China. strips with stars.
And on this table Trump has launched his mouse challenge: many do not remember that Trump’s idea was part of a political proposal of the Biden Administrationbut being Biden the good and Trump the villain, nobody had noticed: the idea moved from the observation that the United States government had every right to impose strong duties on Chinese manufacturing ships that arrive in the USA ports. The initial proposal provided for a rate of up to $ 1 million for each Chinese owner owner (like Cosco). For non -Chinese shipowners with ships built in China in their fleet, the rate would have been up to 1.5 million dollars for each stop in an American port.
And the mouse immediately frightened. But as anyone who guests a cat in the house knows, the first move is to terrorize the mouse, the second to play trembling and fearful with him, therefore, but just for extreme ratio, eliminate it.
The actions of the Trump Administration will begin to reverse Chinese domain, to face threats to the US supply chain and to send an demand signal for ships built in the USA.
And now the game is in progress. The US administration has not adjusted the shot: it is making it clear that the claws are ready and no longer joking and it is making it understand in particular to the infinite one
Navi owners may have the right to a reduction in rates if they can provide proof of an order for the construction of a ship in the United States. The cancellation of the rate would be based on the capacity of clear size equal to or lower than the ship ordered. “If a future ship owner does not take over the ship built in the United States within three years, the rates will immediately become payable,” It reads in the relationship.
Put simply, shipowners know that there are no escape routes: if you manage Made in China ships, you pay a substantial tax whenever this ship stops in a US port. The Mickey Mouse is closed among the claws. But the game continues: if the owner in the meantime signs a contract and undertakes to build a ship in the next three years in the American construction sites (which in the meantime also with the help of Korea and hopes of Italy have been “reactivated” and are in a position to build a brings and other types of Naviglio), this owner does not pay or pay very little.
The use of foreign ships for the transport of GNL will also be limited.
