Biden Deals Blow to US Miners, Looks to Import Materials for Electric Vehicles

The nation’s globalist in chief wants to sacrifice American jobs on the altar of optics once again.

President Joe Biden will outsource the mining of most metals required for the manufacture of electric vehicles to allied nations, Reuters reported Tuesday.

The plan is part of an effort to placate radical environmentalists, whom it is believed would interfere with U.S. mining efforts, the report said.

The news comes as a shock to the American mining community, as the administration previously promised it would support domestic production of the metals required for electric vehicles and solar panels, according to Reuters.

Given that the materials in question are critical to the production of electric cars, solar panels and even fighter jets, one could be forgiven for wondering if Biden has finally lost his marbles.

Indeed, the move directly contradicts an executive order in September by then-President Donald Trump that required the creation of a domestic supply chain of rare earth metals for the purposes of maintaining national security.

It also closely follows a devastating employment report that revealed the Biden administration added only 26 percent of its anticipated number of jobs in April, and it comes amid fears that Biden’s immense tax increases will further kill jobs.

Given those facts, Biden’s push to have America merely build items from rare metals that it purchases and imports from abroad appears no more than the latest example of the administration’s dedication to fostering global co-dependence at the expense of American workers.

Laugh out loud! This is no surprise and should be no surprise to the Miners. The idea and ideology of the Democrats is to devastate every American business in order to force people to adopt Socialism/Communism.
