I shudder to think what country would want to actually buy asbestos. All I can think about is how much of a pain in the ass it is to clean up once used in construction.
It’s fucking amazing through. If it weren’t for the instant cancer thing it would be used in 1000 household products, electronics, automotive parts, airplanes, space shit, even clothes.

Aluminum is a good example for why we shouldn’t trade with the US (soft wood as well and everything else) because Trump took office and blocked Aluminum imports from Canada so China could sell more
As an aside we shouldn’t be shipping unrefined oil products anywhere
But for raw trade we have potash, uranium, and asbestos

Mainly used in cement and cars today

Raw Aluminum is way higher than anyone ever expects – cheap electricity means it’s refined here.
