Who was it that started a trade war with the country we rely on greatly for our supply line?
Does his name rhyme with Ronald Bump? Something like that. If memory serves, he did not think we might need many semiconductor chips, lithium, cobalt, and rare earth elements (aka lanthanides) (used in batteries, lasers, optical fiber communications, display screens, hybrid cars, magnets, and other unimportant stuff that only a few eggheads in labs ever use).
