How? If they have the material and nobody else does, how do you break this without invading?
Find new sources or new technologies that don’t require them..................or both................
“How? If they have the material and nobody else does, how do you break this without invading?”
minerals, not “materials”. The point is to exploit mines in the USA to produce minerals in the USA instead of importing them. It is essentially a (long overdue) middle finger to the Greenies and their minions in the deep state agencies EPA, USGS, NOAA...
You presume they are the only ones with the minierals.
And you undo sales of American assets like Uranium One.
Simply by developing the resources that exist in your own country.
So called "rare earth metals" that are used in magnets, and therefore everything, are produced mainly in China. Many suitable mining sites exist in the US, specifically in a shut down mine in California. These domestic sources can be exploited, all that is lacking is the political will to do so.
Simple, stop making it impossible to open mines here.
“If they have the material and nobody else does...”
We have the material. There are deposits of rare earth minerals in the West and Alaska. We just need to get at them without interference from environazis and dhimmiecrats.

The US has them. Obama used the EPA to make it illegal to mine them in the US. Leaving us dependent on China and Russia for them.
Lots of resources in Canada, fire the liberals, fire up the mines.

A large % comes from Africa and SE Asia countries, which are very poor.
Russia and the Chicoms have been looting these countries for decades. The ruling thugs get richer and the natives get beans if they are lucky.
The link below shows just the African countries with these resources.

America HAS the minerals.
Until President Trump came along, the dems, RINOs, and their environmentalist puppet master lacked the political win to mine these minerals.
