Trumpster opet hiće kestenje u oči svojim MAGArcima. Đžaina je pred godinu-dvije već opalila Amerima restrikcije na izvoz rijetkih zemalja/minerala zbog takvih idiotarija.
Rare earths are a group of 17 chemically similar elements that are crucial to the manufacture of many high-tech products.
Most are abundant in nature, but they are known as rare because it is very unusual to find them in a pure form, and they are very hazardous to extract.
Although you may not be familiar with the names of these rare earths - like neodymium, yttrium and europium - you will be very familiar with the products that they are used in.
For instance, neodymium is used to make the powerful magnets used in loudspeakers, computer hard drives, EV motors and jet engines that enable them to be smaller and more efficient.
Yttrium and europium are used to manufacture television and computer screens because of the way they display colours.
"Everything you can switch on or off likely runs on rare earths," explains Thomas Kruemmer, Director of Ginger International Trade and Investment.
Rare earths are also critical to the production of medical technology like laser surgery and MRI scans, as well as key defence technologies.
China has a near monopoly on extracting rare earths as well as on refining them, which is the process of separating them from other minerals.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that China accounts for about 61% of rare earth production and 92% of their processing.

In response to tariffs imposed by Washington in April, China began ordering restrictions on the exports of seven rare earth minerals - most of which are known as "heavy" rare earths, which are crucial to the defence sector.
These are less common and are harder to process than "light" rare earths, which also makes them more valuable.
Since then, all companies needed to get special export licenses in order to send rare earths and magnets out of the country.
That is because as a signatory to the international treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, China has the ability to control the trade of dual use products.
According to the Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), this leaves the US particularly vulnerable as there is no capacity outside China to process heavy rare earths.
