摘要 This paper examines the trajectory of the Trump2.0 administration’s rare earth policy within the broader US-China strategic competition. It analyzes Trump’s escalation of economic and technological decoupling, military posturing, and ideological confrontation, particularly through tariffs and export controls. China, dominating 70% of rare earth production and nearly 90% of processing, has used rare earths as a geopolitical tool, notably restricting exports to pressure the US and Japan. In response, the US is pursuing domestic supply chain revitalization, supported by the Department of Defense and legislation like the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act. Externally, the US has invested in Australia, Canada, and Africa, while forming alliances such as the Minerals Security Partnership with the EU, Japan, and Australia. The US International Development Finance Corporation finances mining projects in Africa and South America. This intensifying competition is reshaping global geopolitics, enhancing the strategic importance of rare earth-producing nations. Yet, challenges remain, including environmental concerns, high costs, and entrenched Chinese dominance. Without coordinated international efforts, supply vulnerabilities and geopolitical risks will persist.
