china gave up the monopol for it in 2015 following an arbitration of the world trade organization and exports them to the whole world (btw. this abritration was caused by complaint of the USA)

Here is a list of this rare earth elements including where they can be found.

i don´t know how big is the % factor in "imports from china" is on that but i think it is quite funny that a country declares a trade war against another one who have what they need.

it´s your turn now to explain me how US technology want to survive by don´t import from china. voodoo ? or maybe buy it from south america where is 1% of this ressources?
or let the europeans made some win to buy it first from china and then put something on top and sell it to USA ?
what is your and donalds plan on that ?
