It doesn’t, but if you ban export, the value to export goes down to zero and the value in selling it domestically stays almost the same so companies will sell it there instead. Banning export is “soft” stealing.

US did ban export.

I’m all for the free market, but if export bans are ok for US it’s ok for EU, if it’s not ok for EU then it’s not ok for US.

What people will remember is the winner, and we will have increased brain drain because of it.
