Show full summary
- Allies and diplomacy: The President could negotiate a coalition to coordinate mining, processing, and procurement. The State Department would lead a Minerals Security Partnership (MSP) to identify projects and share secure information, with a supply-chain strategy due in 180 days.
- Mining workforce and education: The bill creates two Fulbright-style programs for Critical Mineral Mining Fellowships and Visiting Mining Scholars to grow skills and research. It also adds clear definitions for mining education and the mining profession to support training pipelines.
- Industry, investors, and project support: The MSP would spur co-financing through a finance network, maintain a database of critical-mineral projects, and promote value-adding processing. The bill also creates an Assistant Secretary for Energy Security and Diplomacy and a Bureau of Energy Security and Diplomacy with expedited hiring for one year.

Energy Security Compacts with Partners
This bill would create a program called Energy Security Compacts to fund multi-year projects with partner countries. It would allow use of bilateral economic assistance money appropriated for fiscal year 2026 or later. Each Compact would need a yearly financial plan showing U.S., partner, agency, and private contributions. Countries designated a "foreign country of concern" would be excluded. Compact funds could not pay for military aid, projects that cause substantial U.S. job loss, or projects with serious, unfixable environmental or health risks. The Secretary would notify Congress 30 days before entering a Compact. The Director would report annually for up to five years. The Government Accountability Office would evaluate the program starting two years after enactment and then each year.
