"I don’t need to explain to anybody here that critical minerals are vital to the devices that we use every single day. They power our infrastructure, our industry, and our national defense … Our goal is to have a global market that's secure, a global supply that's enduring and is available to everyone, every nation, at an affordable price.”
– U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio
