Under the deal, the two countries will <strong>invest $2 billion within six months<\/strong> to boost production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The agreement aims to <strong>reduce China\u2019s dominance<\/strong> in the global rare minerals market. These minerals \u2014 including <strong>gallium, lithium, and nickel<\/strong> \u2014 are essential for manufacturing <strong>electric vehicles, fighter jets, military radars, and aerospace equipment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the White House, the project will target resources worth <strong>around $53 billion<\/strong>. The U.S. and Australia will also set <strong>minimum price standards<\/strong> for these minerals to prevent China from manipulating export prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump called the deal a <strong>\u201cstrategic step toward mineral independence\u201d<\/strong> and expressed confidence that the U.S. would become a leading source of critical minerals within a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The agreement comes <strong>just days before Trump\u2019s scheduled meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping<\/strong> in South Korea \u2014 a move analysts see as a <strong>diplomatic strategy<\/strong> amid ongoing trade tensions between Washington and Beijing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\"
