  • “Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America… I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”.

  • Energy-related project value rose to $94bn last year including $18bn of wind, solar and waste-to-energy projects.
  • Metals and mining arose to $32.6bn marking a new record with most of the funding committed outside China.
  • New commitments / investment in copper in H2 2025 helped in the second half of the year as China scrambles to secure concentrate and metal supply.
  • China continues to strive for self-sufficiency. There is nothing new in this but its control and use of critical minerals to get its way in trade and military dealings is of concern.
  • Investment should rise again this year with the start of the new 15th five-year plan and following the success of the Belt and Road initiative.
  • The strategy will likely accelerate the move to control more mineral deposits partly helped by the need to drive export trade.
