🇬🇧⚓️🇬🇾 The UK has decided to re-task Royal Navy warship the HMS Trent and deploy it to Guyana after Christmas, according to British media reports
Instead of scouring the Caribbean in search of drug smugglers, the warship will take part in joint naval exercises with the former British colony and Commonwealth member. The decision was reportedly prompted by the current flare-up of the territorial dispute between Guyana and Venezuela.
💬 "HMS Trent will visit regional ally and Commonwealth partner Guyana later this month as part of a series of engagements in the region during her Atlantic Patrol Task deployment," a UK Ministry of Defense spokesperson was cited as saying.
The warship will stay in Barbados, the Caribbean region of the Americas, during Christmas, after which it will be heading for Guyana. Its activities will reportedly be carried out at sea, and will not involve docking in Guyana’s capital, Georgetown.

China just banned the export of technology to make rare earth magnets. In August China restricted the export of gallium and germanium.
These components are vital for semi conductors. China holds the highest reserves of mineral earths (see graph attached) and the US registered a very high mining output in 2022.
Rare earths and the whole logistic and manufacture chain is a matter of national security for the US and Europe since they fear they will lose Taiwan, which is the world leader in the manufacturing of semiconductors.
The tech battle for semiconductors is of strategic importance since they are needed for everything, aircraft, missiles, computers, medical equipment, etc.
The us, through the US SOUTHERN COMMAND and foreing policy, is trying to secure the production of semiconductors within "the americas". This said, south america plays a very important role as Brazil holds one of the biggest rare earth materials deposits. Besides the rare earth deposits, the US is trying to block all chinese investments in south america. (graph from statista)
