Description

In this intense episode, Tara unpacks the high-stakes clash between U.S. policy, Chinese influence, and America’s dependence on rare earth minerals. From Trump’s attempted cancellation of 500,000 Chinese student visas to China’s retaliatory threat to cut off critical rare earth supplies, Tara breaks down the geopolitical pressure game that nearly halted America’s auto and tech industries. She explores Biden-era decisions that empowered China, the strategic shutdown of U.S. mining sites, the fallout in Afghanistan, and the stunning recent developments that may finally free America from Chinese mineral dominance.
