EU plans to stockpile critical minerals amid US-China tension, FT says

me-metals: The European Union plans to set up a central authority to coordinate buying and stockpiling of critical minerals to keep the US from securing supplies “under our noses,” industry chief Stéphane Séjourné said on Wednesday.

According to me-metals cited from mining.com, In an interview, Séjourné told the Financial Times newspaper that the EU had become “collateral damage” in a US-China dispute over rare earths, which are vital for defence and clean technologies.
