Trump and Xi meet today. The biggest chip on the table isn't tariffs.

Beijing suspended export controls last November for exactly one year. What happens on November 10 is what today's summit is really about.

GOVERNMENT & POWER • GLOBAL POWER SHIFTS

Trump and Xi sit down in Washington today, and the biggest chip on the table isn't tariffs. It's 17 metals most Americans have never heard of. Rare earth elements are in your phone, your truck, the guidance system on every F-35 fighter jet. China refines 91% of the global supply. We refine 1%. Last November, Beijing agreed to suspend export controls on these materials for one year. That clock runs out November 10… 47 days from now. Every F-35 carries up to 44 pounds of pure rare earths. Every pound runs through Chinese refineries first.

The move Washington made in 1934

They did it once. Trump can do it again.

In 1934, the government executed a legal maneuver that transferred billions in wealth overnight.

Most Americans had no idea it was coming.

A small group who saw it early walked away wealthy.

Everyone else paid for it.

Trump has the same legal authority today. Advisors close to the administration believe he's considering using it. If he does, the transfer happens fast — and the window to be on the right side of it is already closing.

We put together a free report on exactly what this move is, why the timing points to now, and the one step ordinary Americans can take to position themselves before it happens.

It costs nothing. Takes 30 seconds to request.

The people who moved early in 1934 didn't have a warning.

You do.

The man sitting across from our president today controls 91% of the refining for the materials inside the weapons we'd use to defend ourselves against him.
