President-elect will need to shift his ‘America First’ policy orientation to secure the supply chain crucial for defence and hi-tech.
The central idea of the article is that China's recent restrictions on exports of critical minerals to the US, seen as a retaliatory move, will force the incoming Trump administration to prioritize securing a reliable supply chain for these vital materials.
This will likely involve:
* Boosting domestic mining: Trump is expected to accelerate drilling permits and encourage US-based mining of critical minerals.
* Strengthening international partnerships: To reduce reliance on China, the Trump administration will need to prioritize cooperation with allies and partners, potentially shifting away from his “America First” policy stance.
Overall, the article highlights the national security implications of the China's move and predicts a significant shift in US policy towards securing critical mineral access.
