A stunning Cold War revelation uncovered during Next News Network's boots-on-the-ground investigation in Canada exposes exactly why President Trump's critical minerals initiative could deal a death blow to Chinese economic warfare against America.
While meeting with executives from Saga Metals—a key player in Trump's strategic mining push—our investigation stumbled onto a classified secret that should wake up every patriot who cares about national security.
Here's the bombshell: During the height of the Cold War, America was so desperately dependent on foreign minerals that the CIA had to create elaborate shell companies to secretly purchase titanium from Soviet Russia. Why? To build the legendary SR-71 Blackbird spy plane that would then be used to spy on the very enemy we were buying materials from.
Think about the insanity of that situation. Our own intelligence agencies were running dangerous covert operations just to get the raw materials needed to defend America. We were completely at the mercy of our sworn enemies for the minerals that powered our most advanced military technology.
Trump Says 'Never Again'
President Trump looked at that shameful history and declared it would never happen again on his watch. His aggressive domestic mining initiative is designed to free America from the stranglehold that China, Russia, and other hostile nations have held over our critical mineral supply chains.
Everything that makes modern America function—our fighter jets, missile systems, military satellites, data centers, and even cell phones—depends entirely on these critical minerals. For decades, red tape and bureaucratic sabotage have crippled domestic mining operations, leaving us dangerously dependent on nations that want to see us fail.
The Alaska mine connected to this operation just received official endorsement from the Governor of Alaska, marking a massive victory for American energy independence. When China threatens to cut off our mineral supply, Trump's vision will allow us to look them in the eye and say: "We don't need you anymore."
This isn't just about mining, patriots. This is about American survival and sovereignty. This is about ensuring we never again have to secretly beg our enemies for the materials needed to defend ourselves.
The establishment media refuses to cover this story because they don't want you to understand how Trump is systematically dismantling decades of American weakness.
