HEADLINE: US Response to China's Rare Earth Threat and Stockpiling



GUEST NAMES: Victoria Coates, Gordon Chang



SUMMARY: China injected the rare earths threat into trade talks, a serious move given they supply 70% of US needs and US stockpiles are low. President Trump responded with 100% tariffs but later sought an off-ramp. Experts stress the urgent need for the US to develop a domestic supply and a national stockpile, similar to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, to counter future Chinese blackmail.
