Trump capitulează în fața Beijingului: Va permite importul de minerale din China, pentru armata SUA? • Newsweek România

The Trump administration's plan to reduce dependence on critical minerals from China faces significant challenges, as U.S. defense companies lack processing capacity. To avoid production halts, special exemptions for Chinese imports will be necessary until 2027. Despite substantial investments, the U.S. defense industry cannot eliminate reliance on Chinese minerals, highlighting a critical military dependency. With a legal deadline approaching, major contractors are urging government support to delay regulations, as the U.S. infrastructure lags behind China's capabilities.
