me-metals: Credit: Albemarle America has become unacceptably reliant on foreign competitors for critical materials and manufacturing processes. Post-Cold War assumptions about peace, trade, and eventual liberalizations led the US government and businesses to rely heavily on China – for manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and raw materials.

America uses minerals for a range of strategic military and commercial applications, some of which the US relies substantially or wholly on imports to provide.
