The figures for future worth of particular minerals in an area are pretty much useless anywhere

[muriel_volestrangler]

but particularly in a war zone where you're actively advocating giving away most of the territory concerned to another country with which you have no deal whatsoever. This is Trump bullshitting himself, and the Fox News viewers.

Maybe the main thing here was, as you say, "blaming Biden" with a random figure pulled out of Trump's voluminous arse.

Plus, none of titanium, iron or lithium are "rare earths". Raw Story really ought to avoid industrial or chemical stories until it has someone who understood either at school.
