## Summary

**Secures U.S. access to critical minerals** by creating a U.S.-led Critical Minerals Security Alliance and a Trust Fund to finance domestic and allied mining, processing, and derivative-product capacity. - U.S. miners and manufacturers: Would gain federal financing through a new Trust Fund to expand mining, processing, and manufacturing of derivative products. Sixty percent of the fund would be allocated to the Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office. - Defense and national security: The Department of Defense would receive 20 percent of the Trust Fund to support mining, processing, and strategic manufacturing tied to defense needs. - Allied partners: The United States Trade Representative would negotiate an Alliance that can deliver duty-free treatment for eligible members. The Alliance aims to cover at least 90 percent of critical minerals listed in the Energy Act of 2020 and 100 percent of select derivative products. - Imports and countries of concern: The bill would phase in higher duties or equivalent trade remedies on mined and processed minerals from foreign countries or entities of concern, aligned with the China section 301 rate as of January 1, 2026. - International finance and conditions: Twenty percent of the Trust Fund would go to the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation with exceptions to support some upper-middle and high-income partner countries if specific U.S. participation and sale conditions (not less than 50 percent sales to U.S. government or U.S. entities) are met. - Oversight and reviews: The United States Trade Representative would conduct five-year and ongoing capacity reviews, require annual reports to Congress on partner engagement and capacity gaps, and the bill specifically lists Venezuela as a country of concern.
