Interior Secretary Doug Burgum is fighting to put America first by unleashing our mining industry. He says boosting rare earth mineral production creates jobs, strengthens national security, and slaps down China’s global dominance. This “triple win” strategy reverses years of weak leadership that let foreign powers control critical resources.
Burgum warned China currently dominates 80% of rare earth mining – the stuff needed for smartphones, missiles, and electric vehicles. Letting communists control these minerals is suicide for American sovereignty. Under Trump’s orders, we’re mapping U.S. mineral deposits and fast-tracking permits to mine them right here on our soil.
The Secretary blasted Biden-era policies that locked up federal lands from development. Radical environmental rules destroyed mining jobs and forced us to beg China for materials. Burgum’s new orders tear down these extremist regulations, telling bureaucrats: “Drill more. Mine more. Log more.” Common sense is finally replacing climate hysteria.
Coal is roaring back thanks to President Trump’s executive order declaring it a “strategic mineral.” Burgum called coal the backbone of affordable electricity, noting 16% of U.S. power still relies on it. While coastal elites lecture us about windmills, real Americans need cheap energy to heat homes and run factories.
China’s laughing at our weakness while they stockpile rare earths. Burgum’s solution? Unleash American grit. “We built this country by harvesting our resources – not signing climate treaties,” he told Fox News. Every shovel in the ground puts food on tables and tells Beijing we won’t be bullied.
Environmental extremists hate this plan, but patriots know better. Burgum vowed to protect clean air and water while mining responsibly. The real pollution comes from relying on Chinese factories with no environmental standards. Bringing production home cleans up the planet AND our economy.
This isn’t just about minerals – it’s about national pride. For too long, Washington choked industries with red tape while our towns decayed. Burgum’s push revives the working-class values that made America great. As he said: “We either dig dirt or become dirt.”
The choice is clear. Back America’s workers, crush China’s monopoly, and power our future with American resources. Burgum’s “triple win” proves conservatives deliver real solutions while liberals whine about fairy-tale “green transitions.” Under Trump, we’re putting hardhats back to work and making our enemies sweat.
