Trump Pressures Allies — Canada Takes Control of Critical Minerals Supply!

Описание: Trump Pressures Allies — Canada Takes Control of Critical Minerals Supply!
📌 In this episode, we examine how intensified pressure on allies—framed as a bid for alignment—produced the opposite outcome in critical minerals. As Washington pushed harder, supply-chain decisions quietly shifted. Rather than conceding leverage, Canada consolidated control across extraction, processing, and downstream coordination, turning predictability and reliability into strategic power. What looked like diplomacy by pressure instead accelerated a reordering of who sets the terms in the minerals that underpin EVs, defense systems, and advanced manufacturing.

🎯 Key Topics to Cover:

Why pressure tactics backfired in critical minerals coordination

How control of processing—not just extraction—determines real leverage

Canada’s positioning across lithium, nickel, cobalt, and rare earth pathways
