Fine.
We're going to cut off your access to these critical minerals even more aggressively than we were doing before.
Oh.
And so suddenly the United States is in a jam.
And the answer is to pour money into critical minerals.
And so the federal government is saying, here's more than $100 billion worth of financing.
Who wants to go start mining?
And the Trump sons are sitting there looking for business opportunities.
And along with a bunch of other business partners, they decide this is a great sector to get into.
Well, as a mining company, you need several things.
You need access to a space where there are these metals.
You need capital to build the mine and to extract the metals from the ground.
And then you also need a demand for the metals once you dig them out of the ground.
The federal government is trying to help with all those things right now.
It's helping them negotiate access to the mines.
It's helping them finance them.
And it's also negotiating what they call offtake agreements, where it says, if you extract this many tons of a certain metal, we'll buy some of that metal from you.
So the federal government is answering all of these demands from the mining sector.
So of course, there's all these entrepreneurs who are saying, there's money to be made here.
And also, it's sort of a patriotic cause.
