# Trump likely to invest in more rare earths due to China's export limitations. Treasury Secretary suggests U.S. may buy equity in strategic industries. Stock CRML falling.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent mentioned that President Donald Trump's administration may acquire ownership stakes in additional companies in response to China's recent restrictions on rare earth exports. Bessent stated on CNBC that he wouldn't be surprised if the U.S. procured equity shares in companies, particularly in strategic sectors, following China's announcement. The administration has already invested in MP Materials Corp. (NYSE: MP) and Trilogy Metals, Inc. as part of its strategic investment approach. In light of the current situation, with the rare earth market being impacted by China's decisions, there is a growing emphasis on bolstering self-sufficiency either within the U.S. or in collaboration with allies, as highlighted by Bessent. As a consequence of these developments, CRML stock is experiencing a decline on Wednesday. For further details, the complete article is accessible on Benzinga.com.
