US focuses on critical minerals recovery from mine waste and global economic role through partnerships with Ukraine and Canada.
China has signaled a potential softening of its stance on rare earth export restrictions, a move that could alleviate global market anxieties and impact prices. This development comes after widespread concerns from major industries, including automotive and semiconductor manufacturers, who faced significant supply chain disruptions due to the earlier curbs.
In early April, China, which controls over 90% of the world's rare earth processing capacity, imposed strict licensing requirements for rare earth exports. This decision sent shockwaves through global supply chains, particularly affecting industries reliant on these critical minerals for components ranging from electric vehicles and consumer electronics to defense systems.
Recent statements from Chinese officials and state media reports indicate a shift towards greater cooperation and potential relaxation of the export controls.
