Chapter 1104 (2/2)

In particular, for rare earth minerals produced by the moon, Singapore has replaced China as the world's largest exporter of rare earth.

It is no exaggeration to say that once the 50% defense tax comes out, the global commodity market will have to trigger a magnitude 7 earthquake.

For non member states, of course.

Daniel Morgan wasn't the only one who was surprised and angry. The White House's response was similar.

Clinton's economic advisers saw the real intention of the star ring trade at a glance.

They are taking the space interests of other countries to give blood to their own space industry! Of course, their family couldn't eat the fat, so they tied China and Russia to their chariots.

If it is the era of the space race, no matter how developed the aerospace industry is, it will only boost national confidence. However, the profit prospects of the space industry are more and more amazing, even growing at a geometric rate, which can not be ignored by the White House.

Besides, the space industry parks in Silicon Valley and Seattle have exceeded $1 trillion. If you are kicked out of the space elevator at this time, the loss to the United States is undoubtedly heavy.

”The risk of economic crisis has appeared, and we may not see anything in the short term, but if this defense tax is long-term, the gap between us and them in the field of Aerospace will become larger and larger. We have to do something before it gets too late! ””I propose economic sanctions against new countries suspected of trade protectionism!”

At a regular meeting of Congress, a member of Parliament stood up and said fiercely.

This time, however, there was a rare lack of response in Congress, and even a completely different voice appeared.

”Our top priority now is to negotiate with the satellite ring trade to minimize the impact of the defense tax on the U.S. aerospace industry, rather than let the conflict escalate and spread to other areas.” A Republican congressman stood up and raised his objection.

There is no exception to the opposition. Soon, another member of Parliament stood up.

”Secondarily, if it turns into a trade war, I believe we can win in many fields, but we will lose miserably in high-tech field. In particular, the virtual reality network, no modern country can leave the virtual reality network, we simply can not afford this loss. ”

”In addition, there is a very important point,” said the congressman, glancing around the other members of the meeting room and helplessly said, ”at this time, we can not stand up in public opinion to sanction the Earth Defense Alliance. Before the meeting started, I followed the White House website. The number of applications for the White House to join the Earth Defense Alliance has exceeded 70 million, of which 20 million are from North America... ”

The members present looked at each other.

What they were most worried about finally happened. (to be continued. )
