Evening Edition: China Halts Rare Earth Metals Exports

Fox News16-04-2025
Beijing has suspended the export of all rare-earth elements as the trade war with the United States intensifies. The demand for rare earth elements, or metals, is growing as the world uses more clean energy sources and more higher-end microchips for the next generation of processors. Rare earth magnets, made by the elements, are used in electric cars, fighter jets and other new and evolving computer technology.
FOX's Eben Brown speaks with Bret Manley, Executive Director of the Energy Fair Trade Coalition and former Naval Intelligence Officer, who says the United States has to expedite the search, extraction and processing of rare earth elements or we will fall too far behind China in the development of new technologies.

Gavin Newsom Literally Stunned Fox News With His Hilarious "Woke" Comment To Them

Last week, Gavin Newsom announced the "Election Rigging Response Act" in response to Texas's redistricting plan. As part of that announcement, he released this video: Twitter: @GavinNewsom Related: In one part of the ad, Newsom calls out the Texas governor for being "rolled over" by Trump: "He called Greg Abbott, who doesn't have the courage, doesn't have the conscious, and he has rolled over and he said 'yes/sir and.'" Well, Fox had a big issue with this line, specifically because they're saying it's making fun of Gov. Abbott, who is in a wheelchair: Fox/Acyn/Twitter: @Acyn "Greg Abbott, who is in a wheelchair, and Newsom says he rolled over for Trump. That's almost as bad as Jasmine Crockett calling him Governor Hot Wheels." Related: "We asked for a statement and Newsom's office gave us something flippant like, 'You're so woke, he'll get over it.'" They showed the actual statement from Newsom's office, which said: "No. But how woke of you to ask! I'm sorry Greg's feelings were hurt. Poor guy — we hope he recovers." Related: People are loving this one. "Saying 'stop being woke' whenever a conservative complains is a good bit," one person commented. "I thought comedy was back??" another person asked. Related: And this person said what we've been saying for weeks, "Newsoms comms team is locked the fuck in right now." He's broken Fox News and Donald Trump... Let's see who's next!

Tariff uncertainty threatens $490B in US manufacturing investment, report warns

FIRST ON FOX: A new report from the Joint Economic Committee Minority warned Monday that fallout from President Donald Trump's trade policy could slash U.S. manufacturing investment by as much as $490 billion by 2029. Such investments that businesses may defer because of trade uncertainty include capital expenditures on new factories, plants, and production facilities, along with research and development and purchases of advanced manufacturing equipment. The report, compiled by Democrats, cautions that delaying these kinds of investments not only slows innovation but also risks fewer factory jobs, weaker supply chains, and diminished U.S. competitiveness against global powerhouse rivals like China. "Strengthening American manufacturing is critical to the future of our economy and our national security," said Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.), ranking member of the Joint Economic Committee. "While President Trump promised that he would expand our manufacturing sector, this report shows that, instead, the chaos and uncertainty created by his tariffs has placed a burden on American manufacturers that could weigh our country down for years to come." The Republican Joint Economic Committee Majority did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. The committee drew parallels between U.S. tariff ambiguity and the U.K.'s economic experience after Brexit. Its analysis relies on long-term projections of nonresidential fixed investment from the Congressional Budget Office, released in January 2025, and Bank of England research on how prolonged trade policy confusion curbed business investment in the U.K. from 2016 to 2021. Brexit refers to the U.K.'s 2016 decision to leave the European Union, then a 28-member political and economic bloc that set common rules on trade, immigration, and regulation. "This had long-term consequences for growth: Economists have estimated that, in the years following the Brexit vote, the U.K.'s real gross domestic product (GDP) was 4 to 8% lower than it would have otherwise been, primarily due to businesses pulling back on investment amidst high uncertainty," the Joint Economic Committee Minority wrote in the report. The group calculates that a similarly prolonged period of trade instability in the U.S. could reduce manufacturing investment by 13% annually, totaling about $490 billion by 2029. The committee adds that even if trade fears were resolved immediately, the damage already inflicted on the sector would linger. The report noted that the turmoil businesses faced in just one month — April — could still lower investment by an average of 1% annually through 2029, equal to about $42.2 billion in lost manufacturing spending. Manufacturers are especially vulnerable to policy swings because decisions like building factories or purchasing advanced equipment require years of planning and carry significant costs that are difficult to reverse. Here is the full report from the Joint Economic Committee Minority:
