And what if Facebook doesn't move cash around to fund its foreign operations. What if they play the commodities market, say shipping soybeans to China. Buy them cheap in the USA where there is a glut.
And now, Trump is going to sell soybeans to the EU at a fair market price. So that means Facebook has to compete with the EU to buy them. Their costs to run China operations (which includes some secret projects as well) just TRIPLED.
Ooops
I think it is closer to this, i.e. it is commodity trade and corporate financial shenanigans combined.
