Afghanistan dangles lithium wealth to win Trump support

KABUL, Afghanistan — Apr 6, 2017

The Afghan government is trying to grab the attention of President Donald Trump and gain greater U.S. support by dangling its massive and untouched wealth of minerals, including lithium, the silvery metal used in mobile phone and computer batteries that is considered essential to modern life.
But tapping into that wealth, which also includes coal, copper, rare earths and far more that estimates say could be worth from $1 trillion to $3 trillion, is likely a long way off.

I know lithium is a big deal. The good pool shock has it and they quit making it because it's more profitable to make batteries with it.:(
