This explains the strong will to annex Greenland, as environmental laws in Greenland and public opinion there, simply does not allow this kind of dirty processing...

Many of the rare-earths (and other controlled minerals) are extracted from the waste of other metal refining process. For example, Gallium is found from waste of bauxite purification in aluminium production. Silver is found in copper refining. Unless the US restarts the aluminium and copper industry, there is no way to extract gallium and many minerals at reasonable cost.

Hey my European amigos. Y'all tired yet of all this winning? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

China's CATL is building EV battery plants in both Hungary and Spain. China's Sunwoda is also building an EV battery factory in Hungary. In the meantime, BYD is building an EV plant in Hungary. These two EU countries will go ahead of the traditional European industrial powerhouses of Germany, France and Italy for nextgen transport. Italy had a chance for more Chinese investment as the first Western BRIC member but the US forced Italy's PM Meloni to pull out. That may prove in hindsight to be a serious error in judgement as Europe is now not only not getting economic benefits from the US but in fact the exact opposite with US tariffs and threats.
