China sanctions US drone maker Skydio
This is great. Now everyone will get serious decoupling battery supply chain from China. Maybe companies making EVs will understand the stake.

The US is sanctioning so many countries out of the dollar system that this will make no difference.

If batteries can't be sourced from China, there is no competition. If they can be, tariffs to balance out the subsidies.
