Critical minerals quietly power every aspect of modern American life. As you pour your morning coffee, you are relying on copper wiring and silicon chips working behind the scenes inside your coffee maker. When you grab milk from the refrigerator, you are depending on metal components, copper wiring, and electronic controls to keep everything cold. Turn on the TV to another round of bickering politicians on cable news, and you are looking at a screen built with indium, lithium, and rare earth phosphors.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Flip off the lights, hop in your car, connect your phone to Bluetooth, and turn on your favorite podcast for the drive to work. That everyday routine depends on copper, lithium, and a whole host of other critical minerals that power batteries, speakers, navigation systems, electric motors<\/a>, and modern communications technology.\u00a0<\/p>\n

These materials are so deeply embedded into our daily lives that most Americans would never think twice about them. But they should.\u00a0<\/p>\n

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WORKS TO BREAK CHINA\u2019S RARE EARTH MINERAL STRANGLEHOLD ON AFRICA<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Beijing certainly has. The Chinese Communist Party has spent decades and hundreds of billions of dollars\u00a0cornering the market on critical minerals, from mining to processing and refining. Today, China<\/a> controls roughly 70 percent\u00a0of global rare earth mining and nearly 90 percent\u00a0of rare earth refining capacity, dominating the supply chains that underpin America\u2019s economic and national security.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is not just about what goes into your coffee maker or your iPhone<\/a>. Critical minerals are essential to America\u2019s military strength, powering everything from advanced fighter jets and missile systems to radar, satellites, and communications technology. China knows this and has\u00a0demonstrated\u00a0time and time again\u00a0its willingness to weaponize global supply chains for geopolitical leverage.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last year, Beijing imposed sweeping export controls\u00a0on rare earth elements, disrupting global<\/a> markets and sending shockwaves through defense and manufacturing supply chains. The consequences hit Americans directly. Supply disruptions drive up costs, slow manufacturing, threaten jobs, and make everything from cars to consumer electronics more expensive and harder to produce.\u00a0<\/p>\n

My home state of California<\/a>\u2019s aerospace industry offers a clear example of what is at stake. The sector supports more than 350,000 jobs\u00a0and generates tens of billions of dollars in annual economic output. It is also central to America\u2019s defense industrial base, producing advanced\u00a0aircraft, satellites, and missile systems. Without reliable access to critical minerals, thousands of jobs and billions in economic activity are at risk.<\/p>\n

President Trump and his administration understand the urgency of this challenge and are moving quickly to restore American energy and mineral<\/a> dominance. Recent efforts to strengthen domestic mining\u00a0and support companies like MP Materials and Lithium Americas\u00a0are\u00a0important steps in the right direction. \u00a0<\/p>\n

But America cannot solve this problem alone. Even with increased domestic production, global demand for critical minerals is projected to skyrocket in the coming decades. Some estimates show the world will consume as much copper over the next 25 years\u00a0as humanity has in\u00a0all of recorded history<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is why we must work alongside our most trusted allies and friends to build strong, resilient supply chains away from China.<\/p>\n

This week, my Developing Overseas Mineral Investments and New Allied Networks for Critical Energies (DOMINANCE) Act<\/a>\u00a0passed\u00a0out of the House Foreign Affairs Committee<\/a>. The DOMINANCE Act helps lock in President Trump\u2019s critical minerals strategy and creates a coordinated approach to secure the supply chains that power our economy and national defense. This legislation strengthens America\u2019s ability to work with allies, reduces dependence on China, and ensures the free world \u2014 not the Chinese Communist Party \u2014 controls the resources that will define the 21st\u00a0century.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is not just about energy or industrial policy<\/a>.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0not about military might or geopolitical competition, although that is certainly part of the calculus. At its core, this challenge is about protecting the American Dream, and our way of life.<\/p>\n

The appliances in our homes, the cars we drive, the technology we rely on each day, and the military systems that defend our nation all depend on secure critical mineral supply chains. America can either meet this moment now, or risk regretting it for the next 100 years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I am optimistic that, under this administration and alongside our allies, America can reclaim our critical minerals supply chains and take back our energy future.\u00a0<\/p>\n
