This bill sets U.S. policy to work with allies to build supply chains for critical minerals, which it defines to include gold and copper, and to reduce reliance on supply chains controlled by China, Russia, Iran, or other adversaries. It authorizes the President to negotiate an agreement with other countries to form a coalition on mining, processing, recycling, and manufacturing with critical minerals. It authorizes the State Department to lead U.S. participation in the Minerals Security Partnership, including a project database, and authorizes U.S. membership in the International Nickel Study Group. It requires the State Department to report to Congress within 90 days, develop a diplomatic strategy within 180 days, and set up a way to support U.S. companies pursuing critical mineral projects abroad.
