๐Ÿ“ฐ Trump may need to allow Chinese minerals as US industry struggles to meet 2027 deadline
๐Ÿ—“๏ธ Jul 27 2026 10:04 UTC

โžค The US faces a significant challenge in meeting a 2027 deadline to stop purchasing critical minerals from China, as domestic mining and processing capabilities are far from sufficient.
โžค Despite substantial government investment and executive orders aimed at boosting domestic production, US companies lack the infrastructure and capacity to replace Chinese supply chains for essential minerals.
โžค The administration's efforts to stockpile imported minerals, including from China, and the continued reliance on waivers highlight the ongoing struggle to achieve mineral independence.

Typical - make a big show of cutting off China, then scramble for waivers when reality hits.
