The Surprising Moves of Major Investors in a Semiconductor GiantMINNEAPOLIS — President-elect Donald Trump said he plans to reverse President Biden's 20-year moratorium on new mining in Minnesota's Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness on his first day in office. While environmentalists are calling Trump's policies "a worst-case scenario," mining supporters say this is their biggest opportunity to expand mining in northern Minnesota. In St. Cloud in July , then-candidate Trump made it clear his plans for mining in the state. "We will end that ban in about, what do you think, about 10 minutes? I would say 10 to 15 minutes, right Pete?" Trump said. "And tonight I pledge to Minnesota miners that when I'm re-elected I will reverse the Biden-Harris attack on your way of life." The "Pete" Trump called out is Minnesota Republican Congressman Pete Stauber , who for years has been introducing legislation to expand mining. Those bills have gone nowhere, but Stauber says 2025 — with the GOP trifecta — will be different. "Look at the union jobs that will come out of it, look at the environmental and labor standards that will be attached to all legislation, look at the strategic national security interests that are part of this. This is a win, win, win," Stauber told WCCO's Esme Murphy. He says there will be immediate change. "There's going to be a change in attitude, there's going to be a change in investments, there's going to be a change in our thought process," Stauber said. "We are going to mine those critical minerals in the Duluth complex, Esme. It's the biggest untapped copper-nickel find in the world." Stauber passionately disagrees that more mining will compromise the environment. "We're going to do it right. We're going to follow the current laws, the environmental and labor standards," he said. "There will be no shortcuts." While Stauber calls the expansion a "win, win, win," environmental groups are calling it a "lose, lose, lose" — with capital Ls. The executive director of the Friends of the Boundary Waters says this is a worst-case scenario right now, with pro-mining forces acquiring the power to actually get their agenda done. Democratic politicians have called this out, warning that the environmental risk is overwhelming. They say they will fight this, but privately, many acknowledge the 2024 election changed everything. And after years of blocking these projects, they have very few options due to the GOP trifecta. Stauber says this is the No. 1 issue he hears about from constituents. The Iron Range, formerly a Democratic stronghold, is now Republican — and largely because of this issue. The expansion of mining may have a lot of critics, but for Minnesotans, this is about jobs. Opponents have successfully used the courts for years, but that is changing, too. In his first term as president, Trump appointed several judges who would likely support mining rights, and he created a conservative supermajority on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Donald Trump weighed in Saturday in a bitter debate dividing his traditional supporters and tech barrons like Elon Musk, saying that he backs a special visa program that helps highly skilled workers enter the country. "I've always liked the (H1-B) visas, I have always been in favor of the visas, that's why we have them" at Trump-owned facilities, the president-elect told the New York Post in his first public comments on the matter since it flared up this week. An angry back-and-forth, largely between Silicon Valley's Musk and traditional anti-immigration Trump backers, has erupted in fiery fashion, with Musk even vowing to "go to war" over the issue. Trump's insistent calls for sharp curbs on immigration were central to his election victory in November over President Joe Biden. He has vowed to deport all undocumented immigrants and limit legal immigration. But tech entrepreneurs like Tesla's Musk -- as well as Vivek Ramaswamy, who with Musk is to co-chair a government cost-cutting panel under Trump -- say the United States produces too few highly skilled graduates, and they fervently champion the H1-B program. Musk, who himself migrated from South Africa on an H1-B, posted Thursday on his X platform that luring elite engineering talent from abroad was "essential for America to keep winning." Adding acrimony to the debate was a post from Ramaswamy, the son of immigrants from India, who deplored an "American culture" that he said venerates mediocrity, adding that the United States risks having "our asses handed to us by China." That angered several prominent conservatives who were backing Trump long before Musk noisily joined their cause this year, going on to pump more than $250 million into the Republican's campaign. "Looking forward to the inevitable divorce between President Trump and Big Tech," said Laura Loomer, a far-right MAGA figure known for her conspiracy theories, who often flew with Trump on his campaign plane. "We have to protect President Trump from the technocrats." She and others said Trump should be promoting American workers and further limiting immigration. Musk, who had already infuriated some Republicans after leading an online campaign that helped tank a bipartisan budget deal last week, fired back at his critics. Posting on X, the social media site he owns, he warned of a "MAGA civil war." Musk bluntly swore at one critic, adding that "I will go to war on this issue." That, in turn, drew a volley from Trump strategist Steve Bannon, who wrote on the Gettr platform that the H1-B program brings in migrants who are essentially "indentured servants" working for less than American citizens would. In a striking jab at Trump's close friend Musk, Bannon called the Tesla CEO a "toddler." Some of Trump's original backers say they fear he is falling under the sway of big donors from the tech world like Musk and drifting away from his campaign promises. It was not immediately clear whether Trump's remarks might soothe the intraparty strife, which has exposed just how contentious changing the immigration system might be once he takes office in January. bbk/nroFleet Space Closes A$150M Series D with A$800M+ Valuation

NORMAL, Ill. (AP) — Wenkers Wright ran for 118 yards and two touchdowns and No. 13 Illinois State knocked off North Dakota for the first time, 35-13 in the regular season finale for both teams Saturday. The Redbirds are 9-2 (6-2 Missouri Valley Conference) and are looking to reach the FCS playoffs for the first time since 2019 and sixth time in Brock Spack's 16 seasons as head coach. Illinois State opened the game with some trickery. Eddie Kasper pulled up on a fleaflicker and launched a 30-yard touchdown pass to Xavier Loyd to cap a seven-play, 70-yard opening drive. Simon Romfo tied it on North Dakota's only touchdown of the day, throwing 20 yards to Nate DeMontagnac. Wright scored from the 10 to make it 14-7 after a quarter, and after C.J. Elrichs kicked a 20-yard field goal midway through the second to make it 14-10 at intermission, Wright powered in from the 18 and Mitch Bartol caught a five-yard touchdown pass from Tommy Rittenhouse to make it 28-10 after three. Seth Glatz added a 13-yard touchdown run to make it 35-10 before Elrichs added a 37-yard field goal to get the Fighting Hawks on the board to set the final margin. Rittenhouse finished 21 of 33 passing for 187 yards for Illinois State. Loyd caught eight passes for 121 yards. Romfo completed 11 of 26 passes for 135 yards and a touchdown with an interception for North Dakota (5-7, 2-6). Illinois State faced North Dakota for just the fourth time and third time as Missouri Valley Conference opponents. The Redbirds lost the previous three meetings.

Amarissa Kerns and Laura Hamm both eclipsed the previous Rio 6k school record during Friday's race at the Gans Creek Cross Country Course. Kerns, a junior from Lancaster, Ohio, finished 83rd in the field of 327 runners with a time of 22:33, while Hamm - a freshman from South Point, Ohio - was 109th after crossing the finish line in a time of 22:51. Kerns had set the previous school record with a mark of 22:55 at the All Ohio InterCollegiate Cross Country Classic in September. "It was an outstanding performance for both Amarissa and Laura," said Rio Grande head coach Matt Paxton. "Throughout the race, Amarissa moved up 75 spots and Laura moved up 39 spots. It was a fantastic ending to their cross country season." Jaynie Halterman of Taylor (Ind.) University won the individual title as she crossed the finish line with a time of 20:24.7. Halterman was the first Trojan to win an individual title in cross country and broke the previous championship record of 21:04.2, which was set by Addy Wiley of Huntington (Ind.). The Master's (Calif.) emerged as the team champion by one point over Taylor (Ind.). The Mustangs finished with a total of 92 points and claimed its first national title. TMU was led by Hannah Fredericks, who finished in second place with a time of 20:45.3. Ellen Palmgren, Emma Nelson and Suzie Johnson were the top 40 finishers to earn All-American status. Taylor (Ind.) followed as the team runner-up with 93 points. Halterman led the Trojans, and two other runners finished as All-Americans: Ahna Neideck and Noel VanderWall. Saint Mary (Kan.) 125, Milligan (Tenn.) 129 and Montreat (N.C.) 176 rounded out the top five team finishers.
