🇺🇸 🧲 *White House: Securing America's Defense Supply Chains and Critical Materials*
The Administration announced actions to prioritize domestic sourcing of critical minerals and defense materials, using authorities including the Defense Production Act to accelerate mining, processing, refining, recycling, and procurement.
The objective is to reduce strategic dependence on foreign suppliers—particularly China—while strengthening U.S. industrial resilience, military readiness, and advanced manufacturing. The policy reinforces a multi-year effort to build secure domestic supply chains for rare earths and other essential defense inputs.
For MP Materials (MP), the policy strengthens the long-term investment case by increasing federal support even more for domestic rare earth production.
