China, Australia, Italy, New York City, California. They all wiped out toilet paper, food, etc. Maybe housing rent, gas price, etc will be more expensive than other states and cities.
I would imagine California Gasoline $13.00 per gallon. New York City $13.02. Georgia $2.30 for gallon; Mississippi $1.48; Alamba $2.04; etc.Ā
We got gas from Mississippi and off shore oil wells. We tons of food and animals stocks.
We actually saved more money, food, supply, etc. It's all thanks to Donald Trump.

In an unprecedented move, the U.S. government has seized several cargo ports previously owned by Chinese state-owned enterprises. The action, led by Customs and Border Protection, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Department of Homeland Security, was taken amid mounting security concerns and allegations of trade agreement violations.
Why Were the Ports Seized?
The seizure was driven by multiple factors.
Trade agreement violations were discovered as investigations revealed that the ports were involved in practices that violated U.S.-China trade protocols, including unfair trade practices and non-compliance with international shipping standards.
Counterfeit goods and illicit trafficking were uncovered by Customs and Border Protection and Drug Enforcement Administration agents, who found large shipments of counterfeit products, including counterfeit money, and illegal drugs such as fentanyl, which were being smuggled into the U.S. through these ports.
National security concerns arose when security agencies raised alarms about potential espionage risks linked to Chinese-owned surveillance equipment installed at the ports. There were suspicions of data theft and concerns about compromised communication systems that could jeopardize national security.
Stolen technologies and trade secrets were also a concern, as U.S. intelligence indicated the possibility of stolen intellectual property and trade secrets being smuggled back to China, posing a threat to American industries.
What Happens Next?
To safeguard national security, the U.S. government has begun removing Chinese-owned cranes and surveillance systems from the seized ports. These will be replaced with American-made security technologies to ensure no unauthorized data transmission or espionage occurs.
Official Statements and Reactions
Homeland Security Secretary stated, "The safety and security of our nationās trade infrastructure is paramount. We will not allow foreign entities to jeopardize our national security or violate our trade laws."
Chinese officials have expressed strong opposition, calling the move āpolitically motivatedā and warned of potential diplomatic consequences.
Implications for U.S.-China Relations
The seizure marks a significant escalation in U.S.-China trade tensions and could lead to retaliatory actions. It also raises questions about the future of Chinese investments in critical U.S. infrastructure.
The situation remains fluid as investigations continue and diplomatic negotiations are expected to follow.
