Got any links to back up that narrative?
Because all the news stories I found talk about basic economics, not any new restrictions courtesy of Obama.
Take this section from the link as an example:
"Molycorp's problem was its Mountain Pass mine wasn't rich in the rare-earths that mattered. Where terbium and dysprosium are among the most valuable rare-earths and still enjoy relatively high prices compared to their pre-2009 prices, Molycorp was instead flush with some of the cheapest minerals, cerium and lanthanum, that even today are priced at a discount."
I can vouch that lanthanum and cerium are still quite cheap (I actually use lanthanum) while also having no significant value for magnets, so this makes sense to me.
