AI-generated summary, report an errorThis resolution states the House of Representatives' view on U.S. policy toward critical minerals and partnerships with African countries. It says U.S. policy should seek to diversify critical mineral supplies away from foreign entities of concern, such as certain companies tied to China, and improve coordination among federal agencies that help businesses invest in minerals abroad. It supports financing and technical help for U.S. and African businesses investing in mineral production and processing in Africa. It urges the Secretary of State, working with other agencies, to develop a 5-year strategy for these goals. As a resolution, it expresses an opinion and does not create a law.
