Rare earths are strategic supply-chain bottleneck.
China's rare-earth export restrictions exposed Western supply-chain vulnerability, including disruption to F-35 production. Neodymium and other heavy rare earths are essential for permanent magnets used in motors for EVs, robotics/physical AI, and defense systems. Greenland is described as holding a large share of heavy rare-earth deposits, making rare earths a critical strategic resource in U.S.-China competition and a likely focus of U.S. resource policy.

Global defense budgets keep rising.
The post-Cold War peace dividend is over. Russia's invasion of Ukraine, U.S.-China-Russia competition in the Arctic, and the U.S. national security strategy telling allies to defend themselves are forcing countries to rearm. Global military spending has risen for ten straight years and reached a record $2.7 trillion in 2024, with the U.S. accounting for about half, and Lee expects this defense-budget trend to continue for the foreseeable future.
