WASHINGTON – Today, Ambassador Jamieson Greer announced the enactment of the U.S.-Japan Action Plan on Critical Minerals. Under this Action Plan, the United States and Japan will develop strategic trade policies and border mechanisms to mitigate supply chain vulnerabilities and protect the downstream industries that depend on critical minerals imports.
“The United States and Japan are taking an important step to expand the production and diversity of critical minerals, laying the foundation for a binding plurilateral agreement supported by price floors and other measures,” said Ambassador Greer. “Today’s announcement reinforces our supply chain resilience and energy security with a key partner in the Indo-Pacific region. I thank my Japanese counterparts for their commitment to deepening coordination on critical minerals to further strengthen the U.S.-Japan alliance.”
