Trump Fights China’s Bid to Control Rare Earth Minerals Critical to U.S. Defense
In a geopolitical showdown that reaches the very core of American industrial and military might, President Trump is aggressively countering China’s grip on rare earth minerals — the strategic elements critical for defense systems, clean energy technologies, and advanced manufacturing. With China long dominating roughly 70–90 % of the global rare earth supply chain through mining and processing, Trump’s administration has launched initiatives to diversify sources, build strategic stockpiles, and hasten domestic production to blunt Beijing’s leverage over U.S. national security and economic stability. What critics called an overdue campaign has become a defining element of his industrial policy, framing rare earth independence as a cornerstone of America’s 21st-century sovereignty.
