A president with integrity would negotiate with another country in good faith to explore and harvest their resources of rare earth minerals. Of course, Trump has no integrity and never acts in good faith. He thinks he can just invade and take over the whole area.

I also read yesterday that one of Trump’s reasons for wanting to wage war on Venezuela is that they also have rare earth minerals, so he wants to steal their oil and their rare earth resources.
