united states out to reshape the world according to critical minerals
LONDON —
The United States has developed a strategy to rebuild the domestic supply chain of metals and minerals that are considered \"critical\" to its defense and manufacturing industries.
The Ministry of Commerce released earlier this month entitled \"a federal strategy to ensure the safe and reliable supply of key minerals\", which includes 61 proposals, from amending mine licensing rules to stimulating recycling activities, to form an alliance with \"friendly\" suppliers such as Canada and Australia.
This is, to a large extent, an ongoing work.

Decide what the \"key\" minerals are.
But China\'s veiled threat to use its dominance of rare earth production as a weapon in a broader trade deadlock with the Trump administration adds urgency.
China\'s growing control over metals is at the heart of electricity transportation revolutions such as lithium and cobalt, which represents the second front of an imminent war on raw materials.
Essentially, the United States is seeking to reshape the global supply chain that currently depends on countries such as China or Russia, making it look like a metal version of NATO\'s military alliance.
The proposal to reform domestic planning regulations to speed up mine development took up a lot of headlines, which is not entirely surprising, as they exacerbated the existing tensions between the environmental groups and the Trump administration.
However, some specific suggestions are simple common sense, such as determining whether the United StatesS.

\"I have carried out geological and geophysical surveys and provided them to the private sector,\" the report said . \".
In addition, the authors of the report put forward an important point that building only new mines is only a small part of the answer to reducing import dependency.
Take rare earth as an example.
The United States does have a mountain pass-like rare earth mine in California.
However, as its plant is still in a state of storage, the mine is currently shipping ore to China for processing.
Even if the processing plant resumed production, Yamaguchi still had to ship refined products overseas due to the lack of domestic capacity to produce rare earth magnets.
\"Without increasing processing and manufacturing capabilities, increasing mining is simply shifting the source of economic and national security risks to the supply chain,\" the report notes . \".
The point is, it\'s not just mining, it\'s the entire supply chain from mines to processing plants to terminals. use product.
In fact, promoting recycling strategies and developing alternative technologies may generate dividends faster than tapping new mines.
