What This Bill Does
Senate Amendment 6370, proposed by Senators Cornyn, Warner, and Young, would require the Secretary of the Interior to submit a comprehensive report to Congress on global critical mineral and rare earth element resources. The report would assess which resources are controlled by foreign entities of concern versus those controlled by the U.S. or its allies, and identify strategic s or takeovers of mining operations by foreign governments.
This amendment would mandate a federal audit of global mineral supply chains, potentially influencing future U.S. defense and energy policy regarding resource security and foreign dependency.
