[SMM Flash News: Trump May Propose to Putin Joint Development of Rare Earth Resources in Alaska] According to foreign media reports, US President Trump plans to propose cooperation to Putin during the Russia-US summit to jointly develop the abundant rare earth ore resources in the Alaska region. Meanwhile, Trump also intends to lift export restrictions on Russian aircraft parts. These measures are seen as incentives for Europe and are considered acceptable. It is worth mentioning that Alaska not only has vast rare earth ore reserves but is also an important global producer of oil and natural gas, with its oil reserves accounting for approximately 13% of the world's total.
