唐纳德·特朗普总统推动扩大美国矿业开发并削弱中国在关键矿产领域的全球控制，这一举措正与他的政府在法庭上为拜登政府否决阿拉斯加富含铜矿的佩布爾礦山项目的辩护产生冲突，这也重新引发了对小唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump Jr.）过去反对该项目的审视。
围绕佩布爾礦山的争议已跨越多个政府任期。其中包括2014年，奥巴马政府的环境保护署（EPA）得出结论称，布里斯托尔湾源头的采矿活动可能会破坏全球最大的红鲑渔业。拜登政府的EPA于2023年1月否决了该项目，随即遭到佩布爾礦山公司和阿拉斯加州的起诉。如今，特朗普政府的司法部正在法庭上为该否决决定进行辩护。
特朗普政府内部的这一冲突，为佩布爾礦山的支持者提供了新的论据，他们认为白宫正在削弱自己的议程——特朗普正急于确保国内铜和其他对国防系统及先进技术至关重要的矿产资源供应。
这也使小唐纳德·特朗普对佩布爾礦山的立场重新受到关注。2020年，小特朗普公开反对该矿项目，与曾担任前副总统迈克·彭斯幕僚长的共和党活动家尼克·埃尔斯（Nick Ayers）一同，对当地海湾生态系统表示担忧。
“作为一名在该地区度过大量时间的运动爱好者，我100%[同意埃尔斯的观点]，”小特朗普在2020年8月的X平台（原推特）上写道，“布里斯托尔湾的源头及其周边渔业过于独特和脆弱，不容有任何风险。#佩布爾礦山。”
政策悖论
希望开发该矿的佩布爾有限责任合伙企业（Pebble Limited Partnership）首席执行官约翰·谢弗利（John Shively）声称，特朗普司法部为拜登时期的否决决定辩护，这不仅削弱了总统的议程，还将迫使美国将铜和稀土矿产资源拱手让给北京。谢弗利称该否决是一个

Trump administration defends Biden EPA veto blocking Alaska copper mine project | Fox News

President Donald Trump’s push to expand U.S. mining and loosen China’s global grip on critical minerals is colliding with his administration’s defense in court of a Biden-era veto blocking Alaska’s copper-rich Pebble Mine, reviving scrutiny of Donald Trump Jr.’s past opposition to the project.
The fight over Pebble Mine has spanned multiple administrations. Including in 2014, when the Obama Environmental Protection Agency concluded mining in Bristol Bay’s headwaters could damage the world’s largest sockeye salmon fishery. Biden’s EPA vetoed the project in January 2023, prompting a lawsuit from Pebble and the state of Alaska. The Trump Department of Justice is now defending that veto in court.
The clash under the Trump administration has given Pebble supporters new ammunition to argue the White House is undercutting its own agenda as Trump races to secure domestic supplies of copper and other minerals critical to defense systems and advanced technology.
It also puts Trump Jr.’s stance on Pebble Mine back in focus. In 2020, Trump Jr. publicly opposed the mine, joining GOP operative Nick Ayers, who served as chief of staff to former Vice President Mike Pence, in citing concerns about the local bay’s ecosystem.
FROM MOJAVE TO BEIJING: HOW AMERICA QUIETLY CONCEDED THE RARE EARTH RACE
“As a sportsman who has spent plenty of time in the area I agree 100% [with Ayers],” Trump Jr. wrote on X in August 2020. “The headwaters of Bristol Bay and the surrounding fishery are too unique and fragile to take any chances with. #PebbleMine.”
Policy paradox
John Shively, CEO of Pebble Limited Partnership, the company hoping to develop the mine, contended that the Trump DOJ defending the Biden-era veto undermines the president’s agenda and would force the United States to cede copper and rare earth minerals to Beijing. Shively called the veto a
