WASHINGTON – Today, Ambassador Jamieson Greer announced agreement on the United States-European Union Action Plan for Critical Minerals Supply Chain Resilience. The Action Plan will serve as the primary U.S.-EU mechanism to coordinate trade policies and measures on critical minerals supply chains with a view to concluding a binding plurilateral agreement on trade in critical minerals.
“The United States and the European Union share a commitment to addressing the non-market policies and practices that have distorted critical minerals supply chains,” said Ambassador Greer. “We will explore how trade measures, such as border-adjusted price floors, can strengthen our domestic critical minerals industries and the downstream sectors critical to our industrial competitiveness. I thank EU Trade Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič for his commitment to securing transatlantic trade in critical minerals.”
