First, in THIRTY YEARS.
100% supportive of Trump. It is so nice to have a President who is for America.
About darned time.
Prayers, for President and Mrs. Trump.
Love and support, to both of you.
Let China waste their money developing the infrastructure in Afghanistan to exploit their rare earth minerals.
We should harness the rare Earth minerals in Afghanistan.
They owe us.
Do freepers know that rare earths can be extracted from Coal?

New coal need not be mined.
Bonepiles and Coal Ash left over from power generation
can be utilized.
First in 40 years, actually—President Reagan.
Just out of curiosity, I started looking at the bottom of things that I buy. EVERYTHING SAYS MADE IN CHINA.
Hence, Trump must not just be defeated, he must be destroyed.

"The Mountain Pass Mine is an open-pit mine of rare-earth elements on the south flank of the Clark Mountain Range, just north of the unincorporated community of Mountain Pass, California, United States. The mine once supplied most of the world's rare-earth elements. Owned by MP Materials, it is the only rare earth mining and processing facility in the United States."
"The mine closed in 2002 due to environmental restrictions and competition from Chinese suppliers"
Unless I misremember, the US was the world’s largest source of rare earths until Bill Clinton forced the mine to close and converted it into a National Park or something where it could never be mined again - all for his paying Chinese and Indonesian buddies.
“Rare earths” are not rare. They are a commodity and more supply will come on line as prices are raised. China tried to corner the market by lowering prices to a level others cannot compete. It’s usually a doomed strategy. Ask the Hunt Brothers about their silver corner.
GOOD! F ‘em!
The 17 rare-earth elements are cerium (Ce), dysprosium (Dy), erbium (Er), europium (Eu), gadolinium (Gd), holmium (Ho), lanthanum (La), lutetium (Lu), neodymium (Nd), praseodymium (Pr), promethium (Pm), samarium (Sm), scandium (Sc), terbium (Tb), thulium (Tm), ytterbium (Yb), and yttrium (Y).
We have rare Earth metals, We also have an EPA that Clinton, Bush, and Obama forbid to allow mining those minerals to appease the Chinese.
Trump changed that.
China tried to corner the market some years back...it was why they were in Africa attempting to bankrupt African countries in exchange for ‘loans’ to help build African infrastructure. Africans were so stupid they thought taking help from China was the same as taking help from the United States... we help to help. Chinese help to gain control. Commies are thugs... here and there and everywhere.
You know, Japan has invested big money in Vietnam for at least 10 years on rare earth mines but still can’t reduce the dependence on PRC supply.
And Vietnam can’t afford the risk of offending mighty PRC China on rare earth supplying dispute.
Well that's good to know. Don't have to rely on totalitarian China
Trump is making America independent again.
