What it does
The bill would create a new Chief Critical Minerals Negotiator within the Office of the United States Trade Representative to lead trade negotiations and enforcement related to critical minerals. This position would coordinate with the Secretaries of State, Energy, and the Interior, and submit annual reports to Congress on foreign trade practices affecting U.S. critical mineral supply chains, including risks to defense, energy, and infrastructure sectors. The bill aims to reduce U.S. dependence on foreign sources and counter foreign practices like price manipulation and export restrictions that threaten economic and national security.
