By abolishing environmental laws in the USA and promoting fossil fuels, Trump is going to kill 10,000s of Americans. He doesn’t care. But the promotion of oil gives a clue as to who is really pulling his strings – and why he is engaged in or threatening all these new conflicts – Venezuela, Iran, Greenland, Canada.
It’s all about oil. As usual.
Only this time Trump has got it sadly wrong. By cementing the US to an oil economy he has made China the technology world leader – and the rest of the world will follow their low-cost lead.
Trump is making the USA a horse-and-buggy economy.
