Boosting US Critical Mineral Supply Chain Security

A special task force will be established to coordinate efforts between federal, state, local, and tribal governments to strengthen domestic supply chains. This is intended to ensure stability in sectors like transportation, technology, and defense, potentially impacting the availability and cost of products containing these minerals.
