Abinader's speech before the UN starts late and did not mention Rare Earths as he had anticipated

New York. - Despite the fact that the President of the Dominican Republic, Luis Abinader Corona, was scheduled to speak before the General Assembly of the United Nations at 2:50 pm, it was not until after 3 pm that his speech began. In that sense, the Dominican president would have anticipated that in his speech he was going to prioritize the exploitation of Rare Earths and yet he did not touch on the subject. During his intervention, the president supported the resolution by Canada and the United States to finance a new mission to Haiti that has the support of a UN office.
