Creates international partnerships to secure critical minerals for US industries and allies
This bill would let the President negotiate an international agreement to secure critical mineral supply chains. It would also formally authorize the State Department to lead the "Minerals Security Partnership." This aims to reduce reliance on countries like China and Russia for minerals essential to US national security and technology.
Today, the United States engages in international cooperation on critical minerals without specific legal authorization for the "Minerals Security Partnership" or a broad international agreement. After this bill, the President would be authorized to negotiate such an agreement, and the Secretary of State would be formally authorized to lead the Minerals Security Partnership with specific mandates and an authorized $75,000,000 for the government's budget year 2026.
