Russian State News Agency, November 5, evening report: "US President Trump had breakfast with Republican senators and said: 'Don't forget, two months ago, the rare earth elements industry was facing serious problems globally, but now no one is talking about it anymore. Everything was quickly resolved. If it weren't for tariffs, I wouldn't have been able to do this. I imposed 100% tariffs on China.'"
Trump's boastful remarks clearly reveal his tendency to seek glory, presenting an image of "victory over China," and also expose his cognitive fallacy — treating tariffs as a "universal solution" and mistakenly believing that unilateral pressure can achieve goals. However, American media directly pointed out that this so-called "victory" is merely Trump's self-promotion, and in fact, the real winner is China.
In fact, China holds core advantages in the global rare earth industry. Trump's tariff tactics have not shaken this position, but instead forced American companies and consumers to bear additional costs. This unilateralist behavior has not achieved the expected results, but rather highlights his biased governance thinking, ultimately resulting in losses without gains.
