Tripp Hornick, principal at Quince Street Strategy, said that the US allowed the mining and manufacturing of rare earth elements to be pushed overseas because investors felt it was too expensive and 'dirty' to back. Now, the US is facing the consequences of moving that supply chain process overseas, as the US and other world powers race to build a system that is not reliant on China for minerals that are key to national security.

Glass House Analysis
International economic policy has concrete impacts far beyond diplomatic circles. Tariffs show up in the price of goods at stores, supply chain disruptions affect whether products are on shelves, and trade tensions can mean job losses in export-dependent industries. The globalized economy means that decisions made abroad can affect workers and consumers domestically.
The implications extend beyond the immediate news cycle. Every economic development creates ripples that affect employment, prices, and opportunities in ways that may not be immediately visible but are deeply felt. By tracking these connections, we can better understand how the economy truly works—not as an abstract machine, but as a human system shaped by and shaping the lives of millions.
