President Trump has been busy on the topic of rare earth elements. He just released the attached executive order. While it is aimed at US production, I see a portion of it dedicated to absorbing the risk of foreign operations, such as in Myanmar. This appears to be capable of providing for the financing of a Kachin rare earth element mine. The problem is who exactly owns the property right now? I would think that this would require some nation building, without using weapons. Perhaps this is something Julie Bishop could get involved with? Trump is a practical man. While he would prefer all of this to happen in America, if it will benefit America, ask him for it and he is likely to help with any necessary future executive orders.
