Evening Edition: China Halts Rare Earth Metals Exports

Beijing has suspended the export of all rare-earth elements as the
trade war with the United States intensifies. The demand for rare
earth elements, or metals, is growing as the world uses more clean
energy sources and more higher-end microchips for the next
generation of processors. Rare earth magnets, made by the elements,
are used in electric cars, fighter jets and other new and evolving
computer technology. FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Bret Manley,
Executive Director of the Energy Fair Trade Coalition and former
Naval Intelligence Officer, who says the United States has to
expedite the search, extraction and processing of rare earth
elements or we will fall too far behind China in the development of
new technologies. Click Here To Follow 'The FOX News Rundown:
