Seltene Erden, eine Reihe chemischer Elemente, die für Elektronik eine wichtige Rolle spielen, heißen auf englisch "Rare Earth Elements". Donald Trump spricht ständig von "Raw Earth". Er hat einfach nicht den Funken einer Ahnung, worüber er überhaupt spricht.

They’re not called Rare Earth Metals because they’re scarce, but because as a group of elements they took a long time to isolate. It’s an antiquated English use of rare meaning “widely distributed or isolated” that died in Victorian times.

Let’s be real here.

President-elect Elon Musk wants Greenland so he can mine minerals that are critical for making his EVs.

Greenland has rare earth elements, graphite, nickel, cobalt, and other components he needs.

Quest 64 is a great game but unfortunately it only includes four of the five elements. I've discovered a rare prototype build that corrects this problem

Shocker‼️ Trump Jr. cashes in on President Daddy.

Vulcan Elements, a rare-earth magnets startup backed by Donald Trump Jr., just landed a $620 million contract from the U.S. Department of Defense.

House Democrats tried to subpoena him over the timing.

Republicans blocked it.

So tired of winning. China's rare earth export restrictions threaten U.S. plans for a 6th-gen fighter jet. The move comes after Trump started imposing tariffs, risking delays to Boeing’s F-47 program. Beijing controls 90% of global rare earth supply.

Yes, why ??
Because he wants to extract all of our water, oil, and LNG until there's nothing left, while simultaneously denuding our forests and strip mining our minerals and rare earth elements and then leave us looking like a lunar landscape.
I'll pick up arms to defend against this.

"This was part of Zelenskyy's victory plan." - the OP said, responding to Trump on rare earths.

Ukraine has key resources, including rare earth elements, and must prevent them from falling into Russia’s hands. Zelenskyy proposed securing them and using them with key partners.

Denmark is our ally. Greenland is a sovereign territory. It possesses rare earth elements, gold, iron ore, uranium, zinc, lead, copper, nickel, diamonds,graphite.  Trump’s greed knows no limits. He wants their wealth. There is no threat to America. That is the lie he will use to invade Greenland

The man wants Gaza, Greenland, Panama, Canada, and now this. This is truly a madness, narcissistic, transactional imperialism.

Rare earths are critical in magnets for electric motors and turbines and in all modern electronic displays.

Greenland’s harsh environment, lack of key infrastructure and difficult geology have prevented anyone from building a mine to extract the sought-after rare earth elements that many high-tech products require.

Greenland’s harsh environment, lack of key infrastructure and difficult geology have prevented anyone from building a mine to extract the sought-after rare earth elements that many high-tech products require. Those challenges won't go away even if President Trump takes control of the arctic island.
