Zimbabwe has been hyperexploited by Western powers, so I support them not allowing even more of their natural wealth to leave the country.

This is great news. Contrary to popular belief Lithium can be found in other areas of the world.
It's just that we don't allow using slaves outside of Africa.

Canada has now entered the Lithium market. It costs a bit more, but no children have to die to procure it.

I bet Canada and south america profit more off this move than Zimbabwe does.

Any chance you could upload these excerpts on a different channel? I don't want multiple copies of the same video in my timelime

They're literally NOT banning lithium exports. They're going to process it in country is all. I'm not worried at all.

The real question is how will the rest of the world react? China has a stranglehold on African economies, and the USA has a habit of magically finding WMDs in countries with resources they want.

This is great news!
A higher lithium price means production can be relocated back to industrialised countries maybe it can give lawmakers a little push in the right direction…
For example the EU could potentially cover 30% of it’s lithium demand from own sources

Everyone is fighting for their countries to have the best reserves go mine there and leave zimbabwe intact

Electric vehicles are the past. We do not have the grid nor the power plants capable of running electric vehicles. Fuel cells, propane, biodiesel is more reliable safer and less costly.

Don't care 😂 Don't ever plan to buy an electric car.
