WASHINGTON – Today, the Office of the United States Trade Representative invited public comment on the design of a plurilateral Agreement on Trade in Critical Minerals and policy actions to enhance the resilience of critical mineral supply chains and the downstream industries that depend on them.
“The Trump administration is laying the groundwork to negotiate an Agreement on Trade in Critical Minerals with like-minded trading partners,” said Ambassador Greer. “From infrastructure and industry to smartphones and satellites, critical minerals power our everyday lives and our national security. We welcome comments from interested parties to help develop strategic trade policy and border mechanisms, such as price floors and tariffs, to build a resilient and non-distorted marketplace among aligned trading partners.”
The deadline for submission of comments is March 19, 2026.
