美国疏远中国，特朗普与澳大利亚签署85亿美元稀土协议

US steers away from China: Trump seals $8.5 bn deal with Australia for rare earth; 'we'll have so much critical minerals'

美国疏远中国：特朗普与澳大利亚签署85亿美元稀土协议，称“我们将拥有海量关键矿产”

The United States has turned to Australia in efforts to counter China’s influence over critical minerals.

US President Donald Trump and Australian PM Anthony Albanese on Monday, signed a landmark $8.5 billion agreement as they met at the White House.

The deal commits both nations to invest $1 billion each over six months in mining and processing projects, and sets a minimum price for critical minerals. A White House statement said the projects will tap deposits worth $53 billion, though it did not specify exact types or locations, according to Reuters

Trump told reporters, “In about a year from now, we'll have so much critical mineral and rare earths that you won't know what to do with them.”

The US Export-Import Bank announced seven letters of interest totalling over $2.2 billion for Australian projects, involving firms such as Arafura Rare Earths, Northern Minerals, Latrobe Magnesium, VHM, RZ Resources, Graphinex, and Sunrise Energy Metals. These minerals are essential for defence systems, aerospace, communications equipment, and next-generation technologies. EM said the investments will also help “counter China’s export dominance and ensure Western supply-chain resilience.

美国正转向澳大利亚，以削弱中国在关键矿产领域的影响力。

周一，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普与澳大利亚总理安东尼·阿尔巴尼斯在白宫会面，签署了一项具有里程碑意义的85亿美元协议。

根据路透社报道，该协议规定，两国将在六个月内各向采矿及加工项目投资10亿美元，并为关键矿产设定最低价格。白宫一份声明称，这些项目将开发价值530亿美元的矿产资源，但未明确具体矿产种类及产地。

特朗普向记者表示：“大约一年后，我们拥有的关键矿产和稀土数量将多得用不完。”

美国进出口银行宣布，已向澳大利亚相关项目出具七份意向书，总金额超22亿美元。涉及企业包括阿拉弗拉稀土公司、北方矿产公司、拉特罗布镁业公司、VHM公司、RZ资源公司、Graphinex公司以及日出能源金属公司。这些矿产对防御系统、航空航天、通信设备及下一代技术至关重要。美国进出口银行称，这些投资还将有助于“对抗中国在出口领域的主导地位，确保西方供应链的韧性”。

特朗普总统就是个骗子。

Getting the minerals is not the issue. China has spent decades building a refinement industry to scale and processes over 90% of rare earths. Even rare earths we mine in the US still has to be shipped to China as there is no where else to do it. The administration predicts it would take us about a decade to build out own rare earth refining up to scale. So this is no quick fix.

获取矿产不是问题。中国花了几十年，建成了规模化的提炼产业，提炼了全球90%以上的稀土。就算是美国本土开采的稀土，也得运到中国去加工——因为别的地方根本没这能力。政府预估，我们得花大约十年时间，才能建成自己的规模化稀土提炼产业。这个问题没法快速解决。

太感谢特朗普了！

Sure let’s give another country billions of dollars when our military isn’t getting paid. It is not the time to send money out of the country with no budget and people starving.

行啊，我们军队都拿不到军饷了，还给别的国家送几十亿美元。现在既没预算，还有人饿着肚子，根本不是把钱送到国外的时候。

Before mass leaders seize the power to fit reality to their lies, their propaganda is marked by its extreme contempt for facts as such, for in their opinion fact depends entirely on the power of man who can fabricate it.

在大众领袖掌权、把现实扭曲成谎言之前，他们的宣传就透着对事实的极度蔑视——因为在他们眼里，事实全凭人编造，取决于人的权力大小。

特朗普给其他国家送了280亿美元，却从美国人手里夺走了农业补贴、医疗保障和食品福利。嘿，“让美国再次伟大”的支持者们，美国现在伟大了吗？

特朗普该自掏腰包给澳大利亚80亿美元，纳税公民不该拿自己的血汗钱给别的国家。

Trump so stupid china do not play the tariffs tʻ The american People pays

特朗普太蠢了，中国才不吃关税那一套，最后都是美国民众买单。

Australia needed us. They practically begged us because China was on the verge of coming in and taking from Australia.

澳大利亚需要我们，他们差不多是求着我们了

"Rare-earth" is incorrect, as they are not scarce, but relatively plentiful. They are found as a by-product of processing other metals However, as "trace impurities", they are difficult to isolate and purify, making them relatively expensive. Most "rare earths" were used for magnets. Electric vehicles use around 2.2–4.4 lbs of neodymium and praseodymium per vehicle. Wind turbines use up to 1,300 lb in magnet generators. Also as catalysts in ceramics, glass, and polishing.

“稀土”这说法不对，这玩意其实并不稀缺，反而储量相对丰富。它们是加工其他金属时产生的副产品。但因为是“微量杂质”，很难分离提纯，所以价格相对较高。大部分稀土用于制造磁铁：每辆电动车大约要用2.2到4.4磅钕和镨；风力发电机的磁发电机里，稀土用量最高能到1300磅。此外，稀土还用作陶瓷、玻璃和抛光工艺中的催化剂。

Rare earth are not rare . Refining it , that’s a whole different ball game

稀土并不稀有，关键是提炼，难度完全不一样。

yooper8778
The metals she describes are not rare earths. The lanthanides (Atomic Numbers 57-71) plus Scandium and Yttrium are the REEs

她（之前）说的那些金属不是稀土。镧系元素（原子序数57到71）加上钪和钇，才是稀土元素（REEs）。

He’s very generous with our money. How does this benefit the American taxpayers? I know hard working people who can’t afford eggs

他花我们的钱倒是很大方。这对美国纳税人有什么好处啊？我认识些辛勤工作的人，连鸡蛋都买不起。

A "deal" that only benefits his cronies and NOT the American people.

这所谓的“协议”，只对他的亲信有好处，根本没让美国民众受益。

8.5 billion is nothing on a government level. Single building can cost 500 million to construct. Not even that big either

在政府层面，85亿美元不算什么。单栋建筑的建造费用都可能达到5亿美元，这协议金额连那都算不上多。

toddmsmith26
Which building in the US cost $500 million to construct (outside of government contracts), kiddo. I guess the $580 BILLION the autopen administration spent on illegals over 4 years is "chump change", too?

小家伙，美国哪栋建筑（不算政府合同的话）造价要5亿美元啊？照你这么说，“自动签名政府”四年花在非法移民身上的5800亿美元，也算是“小钱”咯？

This is just only the begng!

这还只是个开始！

Anything over 4 Billion is a lot to me lol

对我来说，超过40亿美元就已经很大了，哈哈。

The earth is easy to dig up. How about the processing? China has the chokehold on that.

挖矿倒容易，加工呢？这方面中国可是掐着脖子呢。

Forheavenssake1ify
China processes rare earths cheaper than the US. So the US bought them, rather than refined them. Just like their shoes, pants , coats and Trump ties.

中国加工稀土的成本比美国低，所以美国就直接买加工好的，不自己提炼。就像他们穿的鞋、裤子、外套，还有特朗普的领带（都是中国造）一样。

ColonelJohnmatrix1000
It won’t matter the cost. Strategic military applications will dictate that no cost would be too much.

成本高低不重要。从战略军事用途来看，花再多钱都不算多。

Richard-dd3mm
@Forheavenssake1ify not cost. It is technology. You can’t process it. Period

不是成本的问题，是技术的问题。你们就是没能力加工，没别的可说。

Part of the deal is to RELEASE THE UNREDACTED EPSTIEN FILES

这协议里有一部分内容是，要公开未编辑的爱泼斯坦文件。

I don't care about them. My life goes on regardless. Stfu already.

我才不在乎这些事，我的日子该过还得过。别瞎逼逼了。

You would have to deal with Israel to release the files of that "honey pot" Mossad operation.

要公开那起摩萨德“美人计”行动的文件，你得先跟以色列打交道。

kxht
they signed a framework for future deals is not a trade "deal". It's the same reason why republicans says the US has made $17 trillion dollars from "deals" despite the government being shut down and in debt because it's broke.

他们签的是未来协议的框架，不是什么贸易“协议”。共和党人说美国从各种“协议”里赚了17万亿美元，可政府却因没钱而停摆、负债累累，道理是一样的——都是假话。

The Australians will still have to send their RE to China for processing

澳大利亚人到头来还是得把他们的稀土运到中国加工。

Rare earth are not rare . Refining and Processing it , now that’s a whole different ball game to China

稀土并不稀有，提炼和加工才是关键，而这方面中国的实力跟其他国家完全不是一个级别。

paulb6736
What about refining? What about processing? What about tariffs? And will these imaginary materials cost 10 times as much as the Chinese products? More BS Trump sound bites.

提炼怎么办？加工怎么办？关税怎么办？而且这些凭空想象的矿产，价格会是中国产品的十倍吗？又是特朗普的废话罢了。

JCP-sp5ws
RARE EARTHS ARE ACTUALLY FOUND EVERYWHERE ITS (REFINING) THEM THATS THE PROBLEM AND NEITHER AUSTRALIA OR THE US CAN DO IT LIKE CHINA SO THIS IS JUST PROPAGANDA TO TRY AND TRICK PEOPLE IN THINKING THAT TRUMP SOMEHOW GOT SOME SORT OF WIN

其实到处都有稀土，问题出在提炼环节。澳大利亚和美国都没法像中国那样提炼，所以这就是场宣传，想骗大家以为特朗普又搞到了什么胜利。

When trump makes a deal, everyone loses.

特朗普搞的协议，最后所有人都是输家。

How does Trumps deals with a foreign country continue to be called capitalism? Aren't companies supposed to deal with one another without government interference?

特朗普跟外国搞的这些协议，怎么还能叫zb主义呢？按理说，企业之间的交易不该有政府插手才对，不是吗？

likewatermusik
And what country btw is literally the only country in the world that has the ability to turn those rare earth materials into something usable? I’ll give you time to look it up. Rhymes with China

顺便问下，全世界唯一有能力把这些稀土原料变成可用产品的国家是哪个？我给你们时间去查，名字跟“中国”押韵哦。

Americans pay the tariffs! Trump makes tariffs and healthcare more expensive! Republicans control all 3 branches and they ransom us to reopen government.

关税最后是美国人买单！特朗普让关税和医疗成本都涨了！共和党掌控着（政府）三个分支，却拿重开政府来要挟我们。

UnspokenWords2010
Trump still doesn't understand tariffs.

特朗普还是没搞懂关税是怎么回事。

colerainfan1143
Too little. Too late. China has the upper hand, Trump knows it, and he’s desperately trying to back out of tariffs without looking like a weak old fool.

做得太少，也太晚了。中国已经占了上风，特朗普心里清楚，他现在就是拼命想取消关税，还不想显得自己是个软弱的老糊涂。
