The new President of Bolivia is now working to terminate lithium mining contracts with China & Russia, in favor of a deal with the United States.
President Rodrigo Paz's Foreign Minister said, "We are looking for a long-term relationship with U.S., relations based on the same values and interests that we share, for democracy and to create a new alliance in South America,"
"The U.S. has a lot of technology and has a lot of experience and sustainable extraction of resources. We want to take advantage of that. Of course, we want to receive some technology transfers and to be part of the whole chain of production."
The Uyuni Salt Flat in Bolivia holds the world's largest lithium reserves—estimated at 21 million tons—vital for batteries. China currently controls over 80% of global lithium production. This move would give American industry a huge boost.
This is for all the naysayers who question Trump's recent moves to reclaim domination of the Western Hemisphere.
