Aug 19 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on

Tuesday blasted an appeal court's decision to temporarily block

federal officials from completing a land transfer needed for Rio

Tinto and BHP to develop Arizona's Resolution

Copper project.

Trump, in a post on Truth Social, called the court - the San

Francisco-based 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals - a "radical

left court." He said that those who oppose the mine "are

Anti-American, and representing other copper competitive

countries."
