Bill overview
The Strategic Minerals Act aims to bolster U.S. economic and national security by securing a reliable supply of critical minerals and rare earth elements. It authorizes the President to negotiate free trade agreements with countries that align with U.S. interests, while prohibiting deals with non-market economy nations like China and Russia. The bill also expands the definition of ‘domestic source’ under the Defense Production Act to incentivize U.S. production of these minerals, subject to stringent requirements regarding foreign ownership and control.
