It is the sense of Congress that— the People’s Republic of China’s dominant share of the global critical minerals market is a threat to the economic stability, well-being, and competitiveness of key industries in the United States; the United States should reduce reliance on the People’s Republic of China for critical minerals through— strategic investments in development projects, production technologies, and refining facilities in the United States; or in partnership with strategic allies of the United States that are reliable trading partners, including members of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue; the United States International Development Finance Corporation should collaborate with its counterpart entities in Japan, Australia, and India to finance a more reliable and secure supply chain of critical minerals; and the United States Trade Representative should initiate multilateral talks among the countries of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue to promote shared investment and development of critical minerals.
