The cost of Trump's critical minerals ‘deal’

Audio

Description

Anthony Albanese’s $13 billion critical minerals deal with Donald Trump has been touted as a huge win – one that strengthens our relationship with our most powerful ally – and delivers massive US investment in our national interest. But while Australia and the US talk it up as a blow to China’s stranglehold on these important commodities, questions remain about the cost: to our communities, to our environment, our health – and the economy. Today, Professor Susan Park from the University of Sydney, on what’s actually in our critical minerals deal – and how Trump’s quest for rare earths will come at Australia’s expense.
