The year #US doubled down on critical #minerals
In #2025, list of metals became a top priority under Trump. But what even are they?
But what even is a #criticalmineral?
The concept dates back to the first half of the twentieth century, especially World War II, when Congress passed legislation aimed at stockpiling materials vital to the United States’ well being.
Currently, the vast majority of critical minerals used in the United States come from China — some 80 percent.

US-Ukraine Critical Minerals and Energy Deal Signals Geopolitical and Economic Shift Amid Conflict

The U.S.-Ukraine minerals agreement gives U.S. firms access to Ukraine’s rare earths, lithium, and hydrocarbons in exchange for ongoing aid and a revenue-sharing model. The deal establishes a reinvestment fund for infrastructure and energy development, though the governance structure remains incomplete. Ukraine’s Parliament must still ratify the agreement, and the war adds significant uncertainty. Several U.S. and European mining and defense companies are reportedly assessing opportunities. With no production timeline and limited transparency rules, the arrangement reflects geopolitical positioning as much as economic strategy. However, investors are watching for signs of stability before capital begins to flow at scale. [more]
