Expand domestic and allied critical-mineral supply chains for defense

Sullivan supported provisions to promote domestic processing and production of critical-mineral-based magnets for military equipment and to secure domestic and allied sources of critical minerals. The bill modifies the Defense Industrial Base Fund for this purpose, with the stated concern that China controls production of resources used in U.S. defense technologies.

Context: The provisions address minerals for defense uses and include both domestic and allied sourcing; the release does not specify the fund modification’s details.

In their own words

Support the onshoring of critical mineral-based magnet processing and production for use in military equipment.
