7 Recom. for the New Admin. and Congress: Building U.S. CM!7 Recommendations for the New Administration and Congress: Building U.S. Critical Minerals Security There are two actions that can significantly improve the DFC’s capacity to support minerals security interests. First, the White House’s Office of Budget Management should revise its rules to make it easier for the DFC to make equity investments in critical minerals projects..
Second, enabling the DFC to invest in high-income resource-rich countries is important. At present the DFC is unable to finance projects in high-income countries such as Chile and Canada, that could provide mineral inputs for vital industries. This can be addressed in the same way that Congress did during the last Trump administration to strengthen Europe’s energy security.
