US dispute with China with rare lands
The matter of metals of rare lands, which Trump mentioned in Thursday's post, was in the center of the current commercial dispute with the USA and China. Beijing, which controls a large part of the supply chains and processing of these materials, introduced additional restrictions on the export of seven minerals needed in the production of advanced electronics in response to the USA imposed by the US to Chinese goods.
Despite the temporary truce in the trade war of both powers, these restrictions remained in force, which already causes difficulties for many American companies. This led to the irritation of the US President and accusations of breaking a temporary agreement with China. According to Axios, this fact was also the reason for the US sudden decision to cancel the visas of many Chinese students in the USA.
