Snippet:
Donald Trump has had to put aside his hostility with South Africa, to get rare earth minerals from the site of a former chemical plant in northern Limpopo Province. The US has committed a $50 million investment in the project despite its relations with South Africa plummeting to their lowest point in decades.
