U.S. Risks ‘Devastating’ Blow From China’s Rare Earths Monopoly
(Yahoo) – Beijing’s threat to use its dominance of rare earths in the trade war risks serious disruption to U.S. industry, by starving manufacturers of components commonplace in everything from cars to dishwashers and military equipment. And, it’s a stranglehold that might take years to break. China could wreak maximum havoc by squeezing supplies of the magnets and motors that use the elements, said Jack Lifton, co-founder of Technology Metals Research LLC, who’s been involved with rare earths since 1962. The impact on American industry could be “devastating,”

Is Trump making sure these rare minerals are being stockpiled so there is a source to use to make our own?

Rare earths are generally not that rare. China is just willing to undertake the massive ecological and environmental costs to mine them. As much as people freak the hell out about coal mines, they are ivory soap compared to what it would look like if we started harvesting rare earths out of Appalachia.
