Interesting I was reading they can't replace all their damaged radars anymore either because China is the only real supplier of Gallium and more than a bit annoyed with them.

Like many other critical materials and rare Earth's (of which Gallium isn't one), the USA has sizable deposits of the materials. What we lack is the ability to refine it usually because the process to do so is so ecologically toxic.

Yep. Or rather, it is far cheaper to accomplish if you don't give a shit about the environment.
