If the U.S. recovered less than 1% of the germanium currently mined and processed but not recovered from U.S. mines, it would not have to import any germanium to meet industry needs.
Unfortunately this is not an option for the US because 'recovering' Germanium is just another way of saying 'recycling' and that is both 'woke' and equivalent to practicing communism. Plus, Trump doesn't like Germany much so there's that too.

That is easily solved, just promise el Bunko a cut of the profits. You won't be able to keep him away. And if we get Putin interested, then it is a slam dunk. Extra credit for poor people who died on the way to the extraction processes.

Maybe we should just rename "Germanium" to "Putinium"??
