Reuters: Scholz Seeks to Secure More Critical Minerals on South America Tour
SANTIAGO DE CHILE (Reuters) - German Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced a new, expanded commodities partnership with Chile on Sunday during a tour of South America that Berlin hopes will help secure more access to critical minerals key to the transition to a green economy.
Europe's largest economy has fallen behind in the race for critical minerals in part due to a distaste for the dirty business of mining as well as faith in the open market, German government officials say.
That has led to a reliance on China, which has invested widely in the mining sector in resource-rich South America and in processing commodities.

WNU Editor: The German government needs access to secure supplies of lithium if it ever wants to achieve its goal of a "green economy". Hence the German Chancellor's visit to Argentina and Chile (see above graph).

It appears that Scholz recognizes that he won't be negotiating with the "American" governments for their mineral stipend. He will be pleading to the Chinese who own/run all the mines in these countries.
CRUEL,
MASTERS,
R,
Black people get a bad rap. I thought social promotion was only for Black people. Most Americans heard of social promotion first in regards to education 20 or 30 years ago.
However how do you explain an ignoramus like Scholz. He went to school. He went to college. Yet, somehow he cannot put pencil to paper and make back of the envelope calculations to see that the electricity requirement or ore requirements are just not there.
How to explain it? He was socially promoted to each grade and cannot solve middle school word problems or any higher math.
Social Promotion is not just for Black People. Whites can play too.
The shaming images that show where our iPhones, laptops and Tesla cars REALLY come from: The truth about the Congolese mines where kids are paid $2-a-day to dig for cobalt
Maybe Scholzy Baby can go to Congo after South America and threaten those kids with a whipping if they do not work faster.
I thought the mine in the movie The rundown was fake looking.
"A sea of workers Shabara, one of the largest cobalt mines in the Democratic Republic of Congo"
For Brazil the mine was fake and embarrassing. It made the movie look retrograde to the nth degree.
But apparently mines like that exist. But we can't talk about it.
Green economy? lmao Dream on green dreamers. What made that even a remote possibility in the first place was the post Yalta world order, which is now beginning to fall apart. Green economy? They'd better start focusing on having any economy at all once the music stops
