"Americanii puseseră banii pe masă și cumpăraseră tot". WSJ: SUA își calcă în picioare aliații în cursa globală pentru pământuri rare

Europe's efforts to reduce dependence on China for critical raw materials face challenges due to U.S. financial power and competition. The U.S. is investing heavily in securing these resources globally, outpacing European initiatives. This situation raises concerns about Europe's vulnerability and reliance on China, especially amid rising tensions with Russia. Both regions are seeking alternatives, but the U.S. has established significant agreements and funding for critical minerals, potentially sidelining European interests. Despite these challenges, cooperation between the U.S. and Europe may yield benefits in diversifying supply chains.
