Will Trump Ending Globalization Trigger a Resource War? Presentation from Former Pentagon Insider May Explain
Washington, D.C., Aug. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A briefing from former CIA economic strategist Jim Rickards reveals a major turning point in U.S. history : as global supply chains fracture, America is being forced to rediscover something it hasn't relied on in decades — itself. 'The dream of globalization is dead. And America's future now depends on what it can dig, drill, and build at home.' Offshoring Is Over — And Washington Knows It According to Rickards, for over 40 years, U.S. policymakers bet everything on global interdependence — outsourcing manufacturing, importing raw materials, and placing America's economic engine in foreign hands. But now, in the wake of trade wars, pandemics, energy shocks, and geopolitical tensions, that model is collapsing — and a new era of strategic self-reliance is already underway. 'We gave away our industrial base. Now we're scrambling to get it back — before it's too late.' America's Safety Net Is Below the Surface Rickards says the key to reclaiming U.S. control lies beneath our feet: untapped mineral deposits on federally controlled land, including copper, lithium, uranium, rare earths, and more — all critical to rebuilding domestic manufacturing, energy, and defense. 'We know where these resources are. We know how to get them. We've just chosen not to.' A Quiet Shift in National Strategy The briefing outlines how federal agencies are now quietly reversing course, with plans to greenlight resource access and pushing forward with new extraction projects once considered politically untouchable. Rickards argues that this isn't just about energy — it's about protecting national sovereignty in a world where global cooperation is no longer guaranteed. 'We're not just bringing jobs back. We're bringing control back.' From Fragile to Fortified: The Future Is Domestic This transition, Rickards believes, is already reshaping America's economic trajectory. From AI hardware to electric vehicles to missile defense systems, industries that once depended on foreign suppliers are now being rebuilt at home — powered by American minerals and American land . About Jim Rickards Jim Rickards is a bestselling author, economist, and former advisor to the CIA, Department of Defense, and U.S. Treasury. With decades of experience at the intersection of national security and financial markets, he now leads Strategic Intelligence , a monthly research service focused on critical economic and geopolitical shifts shaping America's future.

Defense OKs Fort Bliss site for 5,000-bed ICE deportation hub amid executive order push
Plans to construct the largest immigration detention center in the United States on Fort Bliss Army Post land are going forward with the announcement of a new federal contract. On Monday, the Department of Defense announced Acquisition Logistics LLC, of Henrico, Virginia, was awarded a $231,878,229 firm-fixed-price contract to establish and operate a 5,000 capacity, single adult, short-term detention facility for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The contract comes on the heels of Presidential Executive Order 14159, which outlines using "national security assets for law and order." "Bids were solicited via the internet with 13 received. Work will be performed in El Paso, Texas, with an estimated completion date of Sept. 30, 2027. Fiscal 2025 operation and maintenance, Army funds in the amount of $231,878,229 were obligated at the time of the award," the contract overview states. More on current legislation What is Dignity Act 2025? How will it change US immigration system? Fort Bliss as a deportation hub Acquisition Logistics LLC declined to comment on any current government contracts when contacted by the El Paso Times. Leticia Zamarippa, the spokesperson for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, also declined to comment on the construction. Arturo Rodriguez, public affairs deputy for the 1st Armored Division at Fort Bliss, noted the Department of Defense cleared the way for the use of the Fort Bliss land for immigration detention use four months ago. "On March 28, 2025, the secretary of defense approved the use of Army land on Fort bliss, in El Paso County, Texas (Site Monitor), on a non-reimbursable basis, in order for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to establish a holding facility to temporarily house specified illegal aliens," the statement said. Rodriguez added "per the memorandum of understanding between the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement El Paso Field Office and U.S. Army Garrison Fort Bliss, the use of Fort Bliss parcel (Site Monitor) to expand ICE detention and removal operations is under Department of Homeland Security and ICE authority." On Tuesday, Bloomberg News reported the contract was worth an estimated $1.26 billion with the Army providing the initial $232 million. More on past protests Dozens join national 'Good Trouble' anti-Trump protest in El Paso Plans by the White House would make the Fort Bliss location the largest deportation hub in the nation. The Trump administration has stated it has a goal of arresting one million illegal immigrants a year. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wrote in a letter to Congress that the US Department of Homeland Security would use military bases in New Jersey and Indiana for immigration detention on a 'temporary' basis. Trump had previously suggested that 30,000 immigrants could be detained at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Concerns about ICE facility oversight The possibility of another, much larger, immigration detention center raises the question of adequate congressional oversight of such facilities. On July 10, U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar was turned away from carrying out an oversight visit at the Immigration and Customs processing facility on Montana Avenue, her office said in a news statement. Escobar, D-El Paso, arrived at the El Paso facility Wednesday, July 9, in the afternoon, but she was blocked from entering. 'Today, after giving ICE 24 hours' notice, more than is required by law, I was turned away from the ICE facility on Montana Ave. where I planned to conduct my constitutionally authorized oversight duties," Escobar said in the statement. 'This facility has been plagued with accusations of mistreatment and inhumane conditions falling well within the scope of my congressional oversight authority." The facility has space to hold nearly 900 people. Escobar has regularly made oversight visits to ICE detention facilities in the El Paso area and elsewhere to learn if the conditions there meet legal and humane requirements. She visited the soft-sided facility on Highway 54 in June without any access problems. More on other detention facilities ICE detention is growing in the South. This state was the first. The Department of Homeland Security under Secretary Kristi Noem issued new requirements for congressional visits to ICE facilities, requiring at least 72 hours' notice in advance.

European Union awaits US follow-up on trade deal promises
By Julia Payne BRUSSELS (Reuters) -The European Union could not say when a joint statement on tariffs with the United States would be ready, nor when the White House would issue an executive order on European car import duties, a spokesperson said on Tuesday. The EU and U.S. reached a framework trade agreement at the end of July but only the 15% baseline tariff on European exports had so far come into effect, as of last week. EU officials previously said a joint statement would follow the deal "very soon" along with executive orders from U.S. President Donald Trump on key carve-outs. "It is an agreement that we believe is strong and the best we could have ... Of course, we expect the U.S. to take further steps that are part of this agreement but I don't believe at this stage we can put a timeline on these engagements," the European Commission spokesperson said. The carve-outs include a reduction of the current 27.5% U.S. import tariff on EU cars and car parts to 15%. While duties on pharmaceuticals and semiconductors are currently zero, if they rise as a result of a U.S. probe into imports of those products, Trump assured these would not exceed the 15% ceiling. As part of the deal, the EU and U.S. are still finalising a list of products where tariffs would go down to zero on both sides, such as on aircraft, while other products would revert to a much lower most-favoured-nation rate. Separately, negotiations on rates for spirits and wine are expected to drag into the autumn. Europe still faces tariffs of 50% on steel and aluminium exports to the U.S. but the two sides have agreed to set a quota system and a "metals alliance" that would later lower duties. In the interim, however, EU smelters are under pressure as U.S. tariffs have led to a surge in exports of their main input, scrap metal.
