When did it becomes “rare earths” instead of rare earth minerals? Was it really just trump saying it all the time that it caught on?
Preferably we’d be self-sufficient since Europe has a lot of, if not most of the rare earth minerals in various deposits. But, no wants to deal with the ugly process of extraction and processing, not to mention the upfront costs. Until someone steps up I guess we sadly have to deal with China.
China seems to think it can be friends with everybody.
If money is power then China is chasing power. It has nothing to do with friends. It also pisses TACO off since he just bitched about China not handing over the rare earth metals fast enough.
