Critical Minerals Security Act of 2025

✆
In plain English

The Department of the Interior must report annually and then every two years on global critical mineral and rare earth element resources worldwide, including assessments of ownership and supply chains. Interior must establish a process to help U.S. citizens and entities sell stock in foreign mining, processing, or recycling operations for these materials to buyers not controlled by North Korea, China, Russia, or Iran. The department must also develop a strategy to collaborate with U.S. allies on advanced mining, refining, and recycling technologies, and create a method for sharing related intellectual property so allied countries can license and develop these technologies domestically. Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) introduced the bill, which the Energy and Natural Resources Committee ordered reported with an amendment in June 2026.
