Ban on Taliban-Controlled Afghan Minerals in US Products

This bill aims to prohibit the use of rare earth minerals originating from Taliban-controlled Afghanistan in products sold and manufactured in the United States. This means US companies will need to find alternative sources for these minerals, potentially affecting supply chains and prices of certain electronic or technological products, but it intends to cut off funding for the Taliban.
Key points
Prohibits the import and use of rare earth minerals from Taliban-controlled Afghanistan in US products.
