China’s dominance on rare earth elements is not by accident but by default. Back in early 70s, my boss, Dr. Thomas Mackey, a Columbia University PhD graduate and key member of U.S. Bureau of Mine reserves visited China on Rare Earths mission concluded then “China is the future”.
On this 4th of July, I extend my warmest congratulations to our friends in the United States on their Independence Day. 🇺🇸
As America approaches the 250th anniversary of its independence, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia values the depth and continuity of the Saudi–U.S. relationship, built over decades of cooperation in diplomacy, economic partnership, and people‑to‑people exchange.🇸🇦🇺🇸
#America250
America’s 250th birthday celebration is already lighting up the sky, and Texas just gave the country a beautiful preview of what patriotism is supposed to look like. North Richland Hills watched 2,500 drones turn the night into a massive tribute to America, with a rocket, a bald eagle, and George Washington shining over families who came out to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. This is the kind of thing this country needs more of. Not shame, not apology, not lectures from people who hate the flag, but real pride, real history, and a reminder that America is still worth celebrating loudly. Sky Elements Drone Shows absolutely nailed it. 250 years of freedom deserves a celebration the whole world can see. 🇺🇸
America's 250th birthday celebration is already lighting up the sky.
A stunning air show featuring 2,500 drones transformed the night over North Richland Hills, Texas, with massive images of a rocket, a bald eagle, and George Washington.
The patriotic display, created by Sky Elements Drone Shows, gave local families an early look at the celebrations leading up to the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
China added MP Materials and USA Rare Earth, as well as eight other US entities it said are linked to the US military, to its export-control list in retaliation for Washington placing several Chinese companies under restrictions this month https://t.co/CK4xXDZZal
What a remarkable legacy. Back in the 1985–1990 period, during President Reagan’s administration, I had the opportunity to accompany my boss, Dr. Thomas S. Mackey, on visits to the White House.
