Donald Trump’s administration is stepping up efforts to secure America’s critical mineral supply chains, bringing together mining executives and officials to strengthen access to resources needed for defence and advanced technology. The push focuses on minerals like rare earth elements, tungsten, germanium and scandium, which are essential for manufacturing weapons systems, fighter aircraft, electronics and other strategic technologies.
The move comes amid growing concerns over global supply chain vulnerabilities and China’s dominant role in the processing of several critical minerals. Washington is looking to expand domestic mining, build alternative supply networks and reduce dependence on strategic rivals. n18oc_live CNN-News18 is your trusted source for breaking news, updates, and in-depth analysis from around the world.
