US Government Initiates 'Project Vault' to Secure Critical Minerals Amidst Geopolitical Shifts

The U.S. government is investing $12 billion in critical minerals, including copper, through 'Project Vault,' a strategic stockpile initiative. This move is seen as a response to the end of globalization and China's dominance in critical minerals, signaling a "desperate attempt to catch up with reality." The U.S. Export-Import Bank will provide $10 billion in debt financing for this effort.
