U.S. Senators Todd Young and Jeanne Shaheen are welcoming a major move by the Trump Administration to strengthen America’s critical minerals supply.

The Administration announced plans to launch a 12-billion-dollar stockpile of critical and rare earth minerals, aimed at stabilizing markets and reducing reliance on China.

Young and Shaheen say the move shows bipartisan momentum behind securing domestic mineral resources.

Senator Young has also proposed additional legislation focused on strengthening and diversifying U.S. critical mineral supply chains.
