Trump can shout all he wants about Ukraine and Greenlands REE's, it's mostly that which he plays very smart and well. The hard facts are it takes 10+ years to get anything happening mine wise, and of course Greenland in no way way will agree, it's people won't be bullied by the USA bully boy. As for Ukraine, that's a complete and utter mess, Russia ain't going to give it away. Maybe it'll go to China, their BRICS partner. Watch RT and read between the lines. You can take what Trump says will happen with a whole salt mine of pinchness. However what Trump has done BIGGLY is made everyone including the man in the street hear and understand the importance of rare earths politically and in the things used every day that they talke for granted. And some have grasped the future with AI, robots for starters.
And then there's Tim and Brett in it seems never ending meetings with serious players and shakers. Political and industrial. Scaled out this seems an obvious answer. Like it or not wars need rare earths, so China having control must be a no.
