KEY POINTS

• Amid U.S. President Donald Trump’s escalating tariffs on China, Beijing earlier this month imposed export restrictions on seven rare earth elements used in defense, energy and automotive technologies. 
• The Center for Strategic and International Studies warns the restrictions will likely result in a pause in exports and cause disruptions in supply to some U.S. firms. 
• “The United States is particularly vulnerable for these supply chains,” CSIS warned, emphasizing that rare earths are crucial for a range of advanced defense technologies.
