Some people have seen Trump's anxiety and started to hype up: To win the competition, you need to spend more money
October 22 news: At a forum held in London, the CEO of mining investment company TechMet, Mennell, publicly called on the U.S. government to invest more in key raw materials than its competitors.
He emphasized: It is necessary to lead in innovation and overwhelm the competitors in funding.
TechMet has previously received over $100 million in funding from the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation, and its business scope covers investments in key materials for new energy such as lithium, nickel, and cobalt.
It sounds like a call for cooperation, but in fact it is more like a well-packaged investment pitch. Trump, who has always been good at convincing others to put money into his projects, is now the one being deceived.
Mennell's statement is essentially operating in reverse against the Trump administration's desire to do something significant.
He didn't talk about project returns or capacity paths, but just kept emphasizing a logic — to win, you must spend more money; to lead, you must keep burning money.
Mennell represents a company headquartered in Ireland, whose core assets are mainly located in Africa and South America, and the part that is closely connected with American manufacturing is minimal.
But such a company can still get a government loan of tens of millions of dollars and stand on an international forum shouting slogans. This actually reveals the anxiety and loosening of the Trump administration's policy mechanism.
Even ordinary businessmen can see Trump's helplessness in rare earths, and even think they have an opportunity to deceive more funds, which shows how far Trump has fallen. He has been confused, lost his way, and doesn't know what to do, so someone has already targeted him.
