Trump Urges Defense Contractors to “Do Magnets” After Son’s Investment
During a security conference, President Trump urged defense contractors to focus on developing magnets, a topic on which he has previously expressed public confusion.

This directive comes amidst reports of White House pressure to approve a significant Pentagon loan for a rare earths startup in which the president’s son has invested.
