South Korea will "give to the United States $350 Billion Dollars for Investments owned and controlled by the United States, and selected by myself, as President" , Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social on Wednesday, as he announced the deal.
This is not a USD350 billion investment, it’s handing over extortion money to a single person who will use the money at his will.
Can’t believe the world ex US is not banding together to stop daylight theft.

In den Pausen suche ich mir Gesprächspartner*innen nach Sympathie, nicht strategisch. Damit geht es mir am besten.
