Division and suspicion have gripped five villages near Kenya’s coast as global powers from the United States to China eye a forest that is rich in rare earths – minerals vital to hi-tech and low-carbon industries. The US government under President Donald Trump has made securing critical minerals central to its diplomacy in Africa, including through a peace deal in the resource-rich Democratic Republic of Congo this year. Mrima Hill, a forest of around 157 hectares (390 acres) near Kenya’s Indian...

The European Union is ready to retaliate against China’s export restrictions on rare earths, commission chief Ursula von der Leyen said in a hardline speech on Saturday. “In the short term, we are focusing on finding solutions with our Chinese counterparts.

One of China’s largest producers of rare earth elements has pledged to “strictly enforce government guidance” on export controls, a show of support from a major industry player as US officials harshly criticise Beijing’s recent expansion of licensing requirements for the crucial minerals.

In broadly worded conclusions adopted after marathon talks in Brussels, EU leaders stopped short of giving the green light to plans for the €140 billion (US$162 billion) “reparations loan” – pushing that crunch decision to December. But several diplomats...

However, Beijing’s expanded rules are a direct and reasonable response to the Trump administration’s relentless campaign of ratcheting up restrictions on Chinese companies and exports.
