The U.S. demands global suppliers to reach critical mineral supply agreements within 180 days.

Foreign Media: The Trump Administration Sets a 180-Day Deadline to Address China's Dominance in Key Mineral Markets.

Trump signed a statement requiring global suppliers to negotiate reliable and diversified key mineral supply agreements with the U.S., otherwise facing new trade barriers, including tariffs.

The statement emphasizes diversifying supply chains from dominant and potentially coercive sources, with measures including enhancing allies' processing capabilities, reaching agreements for U.S. supply acquisition, investing in non-Chinese facilities, and using tools such as price floors to stabilize trade.

If agreements are not reached by July 13, the president has the authority to bypass further review and implement remedial measures, including high tariffs, quotas, or mandatory minimum import prices.
