Trump To Cut A Deal With China On Silver?

Trump and Xi Jinping sit at a table with stacked silver bars, flanking a crowned gorilla in sunglasses and gold chains.

King Kong (Eric Yeung) joined the SilverTrade Insider from Hong Kong with Trump literally in China as the cameras rolled, and laid out the deal logic in one breath: “Give me the rare earth. We’ll give you the silver. And since you guys jacked up the rare earth price like in some cases 6,000%, we’re going to have to take that silver price to like 200 bucks” (11:47). His words, his logic. You see how the math works.

The receipts he brought: China went almost a year without shipping yttrium oxide to the US, then suddenly sent 60 tons in March (6:37). The US, meanwhile, has been shipping silver east while declaring it a critical mineral. And the reshoring tell: a roughly $7 BILLION smelter joint venture in Tennessee between JP Morgan, Korean Zinc, and the Pentagon. The first new one in about five decades, while 70% of global silver refining still happens in China (13:13). Yeung’s take: “Just that alone is enough to justify silver going over 100 bucks” (13:55).

A $200 handle is Yeung’s scenario, not a promise. But the Tennessee smelter is a fact, and facts like that don’t get built for $70 silver.

KING KONG himself (Eric Yeung) joins The SilverTrade Insider from Hong Kong to break down Trump’s HISTORIC TRADE VISIT TO CHINA.

Is a truly MASSIVE trade deal involving rare earths and SILVER about to go down!?!

Eric maintains that Trump may be about to SQUEEZE CHINA ON SILVER- sending silver prices SOARING!

“Silver has bottomed - why would the US continue shipping a STRAGIC MINERAL (Silver) to China, while draining its STRATEGIC RESERVES - while China is SQUEEZING the US on rare earths!  I just don’t see that continuing!”

This is an episode you DON’T WANT TO MISS!
