Our enviro nuts are worse than theirs it seems.
“Today’s agreement on critical minerals and rare earths is just taking it to the next level, seizing those opportunities, which are before us,” Albanese said.
The agreement comes as China announced it would impose export controls on rare earth minerals, prompting Trump to threaten to impose an additional 100% tariff on Chinese exports.
Trump said that the two leaders will also discuss trade, submarines and military equipment, referring to the AUKUS nuclear submarine deal.
