Foreign media: After a three-hour meeting with Trump at the White House, Brazilian President Lula explicitly stated that Brazil's rare earth resources will not exclude investment from China or any other country, but the key condition is that processing and refining must take place within Brazil.
Lula emphasized that Brazil has treated critical minerals as matters of national sovereignty, and a new regulatory framework has already been approved by Congress. The country is determined to change the past model of exporting raw materials—such as silver, gold, and iron ore—without capturing industrial value, aiming to make Brazil the greatest beneficiary of rare earth wealth.
