The United States has seen several major developments in energy and minerals over the past week, as the federal government intensifies efforts to secure domestic supply chains and reduce reliance on foreign sources for critical materials. According to Reuters, President Donald Trump has invoked emergency powers to accelerate domestic production of critical minerals essential for the economy, particularly those used in electronics and electric vehicle batteries. This executive order utilizes the Defense Production Act to provide financial support, loans, and investment incentives for the processing of minerals such as lithium and nickel. The order also directs federal agencies to compile a list of U.S. mines ready for rapid approval and to identify federal lands suitable for minerals processing. President Trump described reliance on rival nations for key minerals as a national security threat, highlighting the urgency of reducing U.S. dependence on Chinese and Canadian suppliers. Former Newmont executive David Copley has been appointed to spearhead mining policy as the highest-ranking official overseeing the sector within the U.S. National Energy Dominance Council. Additionally, the administration signaled an upcoming minerals and natural resources agreement with Ukraine and launched a probe into potential tariffs on copper imports.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration projects ongoing strength in domestic energy output, especially from offshore oil production in the Gulf of Mexico, which is expected to average 1.80 million barrels per day in 2025. Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of the Interior continues efforts to provide access to energy and minerals, conducting resource assessments and facilitating public land leases for oil shale research, underscoring the government’s push to tap into the largest known concentration of oil shale resources globally. In the private sector, U.S. uranium producer Energy Fuels has announced a partnership with the Chemours Company to expand domestic rare earth and critical mineral capabilities, responding to the national imperative for secure supply chains.

Internationally, the United States has deepened its strategic collaboration with Saudi Arabia by signing memoranda of understanding for energy cooperation, including refined oil products, artificial intelligence applications in energy infrastructure, and critical mineral development. These agreements also encompass nuclear energy safety and technology exchange, along with commitments to workforce training. The bilateral engagement reflects a growing pattern of U.S. efforts to strengthen partnerships for advanced energy and mineral technologies while safeguarding economic and security interests. As global competition escalates and demand for critical minerals surges, particularly for clean energy applications, the United States is taking significant policy measures and strategic actions to secure its position in the evolving resource landscape.
