The Mountain Pass mine is owned by a multi-billionaire and has been the focus of scrutiny for years.  In 2007, the government took action to punish Mountain Pass, telling the public the company was an "extremist and destructive energy company with an interest in harming the environment."

On Tuesday, at the first trade forum held to discuss the tariffs, a group of environmental leaders met at the National Press Club in Washington DC to discuss the new tariffs. The trade forum, in which China and India hold bilateral trade talks, was a key event.

The summit is also expected to focus on the implications of Trump's executive orders on immigration.

"These new tariffs in China and India could have a big impact on jobs and businesses in our region," said John Lott, a former vice president for trade policy at the White House who is now a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute in Washington.

The trade forum highlights how Trump is not only trying to undermine the US's national security interests and trade interests by enforcing his executive orders on immigration and trade policy, but also by allowing China to move its resources out of the US so it can grow its own manufacturing, which accounts for nearly one-third of the world's production.

China's trade deficit with the US is expected to grow by $1.8 trillion by 2020, and some predict it could rise to $2.2 trillion by 2025, a projected 2.6 percent increase over this time frame.

In a recent report on the trade deficit, the Institute for Energy Economics and International Co-operation (IEI), which has a long record on trade, noted many trade deals are "truly bad."

"In the near future, we can expect a huge trade deficit with China and India to increase sharply," the report said.

The report also said that the TPP would "create another huge market for the US in trade, providing a huge opportunity for American jobs and jobs for American workers."

The TPP aims to create $15 trillion in free trade, and as part of the deal, the US would have to build a wall along the southern border so that trade barriers such as those in China could not be built.

The TPP has not been easy for the US, with the US and China negotiating on a number of issues.

President Donald Trump has been working to weaken the US's position, and the Chinese government is one of the most vocal in voicing its opposition. The Chinese government argues that the trade pact will hurt the US economy and that
