TLDR
- The US is facing a severe domestic shortage as it has no active TNT production plants and its traditional supply lines have been cut.
- Poland was a primary supplier to the US but is now diverting most of its production to Ukraine for its war effort, reducing exports.
- Ukraine is consuming all of its own domestic production and imports from allies like Poland for its military, leaving none for export.
- Russia & China: Have completely stopped exporting TNT to the US, cutting off two other major former sources.
