The United States, Europe and Japan joined forces Tuesday against China's export restrictions on rare earth minerals critical to production of advanced technology and clean energy goods.
"We want our companies building those products right here in America. But to do that, American manufacturers need to have access to rare earth materials which China supplies," President Barack Obama said at the White House.
"Now, if China would simply let the market work on its own, we'd have no objections. But their policies currently are preventing that from happening and they go against the very rules that China agreed to follow," Obama said.
