The Announcement

A roundtable without precedent in modern American history

Held at the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C., the American Mining Roundtable gathered more than 200 mining executives, refiners and processors alongside the President and his cabinet.

Date

August 2026

Location

U.S. Department of State

Attendance

200+ industry leaders

Administration officials framed the event as the largest meeting between mining industry leadership and a sitting president in over 120 years. At the center of it: a $3 billion package of critical minerals investments spanning battery materials, aerospace alloys, defense magnets and aluminum feedstock — paired with $180 million dedicated to rebuilding America's mining education pipeline.

The President also introduced $USMS — United States Mineral Supply, the banner under which the initiative will operate. It goes live September 10.

Why It Matters

Minerals are the foundation of everything else

The administration's stated rationale for the package, in four parts.

Reduce reliance on hostile foreign countries

Critical mineral supply chains concentrated in adversarial nations are a strategic vulnerability. Domestic capacity removes that leverage.

Protect national security

From munitions to satellites, American defense capability depends on minerals the United States does not currently process at scale.

Strengthen economic resilience

Onshoring processing and refining insulates American manufacturers from price shocks and export restrictions.

Secure the defense industrial base

Magnets, alloys and anodes produced on U.S. soil keep next-generation technology supply chains under American control.
