US Mining Executives Call for Comprehensive Minerals Strategy to Compete with China
Executives from Perpetua Resources, American Rare Earths, and Westwin Elements have urged the U.S. government to develop a comprehensive minerals strategy to compete with China's dominance in the global supply of critical minerals. Speaking at the Reuters NEXT conference, they emphasized the need for a coordinated plan that includes pressure on Indonesia to reduce nickel production and faster loan approvals from the U.S. Export-Import Bank. The executives highlighted the importance of building a robust supply chain for minerals like antimony, nickel, copper, and rare earths, which are vital for electronics, weapons, and other industries.
