Trump Administration Pushes Critical Minerals Exchange to Challenge China’s Dominance

A congressional hearing focused on plans for a critical minerals exchange and the growing competition with China over strategic resources. Lawmakers questioned officials about how the proposed exchange would be structured, who would oversee it, and how the U.S. could keep the dollar dominant in global critical-minerals markets. Officials also discussed expanding critical-mineral projects across Africa and the Indo-Pacific, including infrastructure investments in the Philippines.
