The House Committee on Natural Resources Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations held a hearing on Thursday titled “Dependence on Foreign Adversaries: America’s Critical Minerals Crisis.”
Members and witnesses agreed that the United States depends too much on foreign markets—allies and adversaries—for many minerals critical to multiple national economic sectors. According to Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), this undermines national sovereignty, technological innovation, and economic prosperity.
