A Trump Presidemcy Don't assume a Trump Presidency will be bad for lithium. One of the last things he did was deregulate mining to try to build up US rare-earth minerals. He too sees what's coming.
From a Trump perspective, everything revolves through energy and competition with China. He will work to promote North American energy security and Elon Musk and Trump see things very similarly. What better way to become oil independent than to not need as much oil for US consumption? Trump also won't allow the North American car market to be flooded with Chinese-made cars either, which appears to be what Trdueau is thinking. It could be a really positive for us like Biden has actually been a real postive for the oil industry.
