近日，特朗普總統簽署了一項行政命令，希望可以減少從電池到手機等一系列產(chǎn)品對關(guān)鍵礦物的依賴(lài)性。
12月20日，白宮發(fā)表聲明表示，“此次的綜合目標為鑒別發(fā)現新的關(guān)鍵礦物質(zhì)來(lái)源,確保礦工和生產(chǎn)者獲得最佳數據,簡(jiǎn)化租賃和批復過(guò)程，加快出產(chǎn)、加工和回收礦物質(zhì)的各級供應鏈”。
美國內政部本周發(fā)布的報告顯示了2016年美國依賴(lài)進(jìn)口的23種礦物，其中包括鈷、鋰、石墨和稀土元素。報告稱(chēng)，美國對中國有極高的依賴(lài)性，因中國為這個(gè)全球最大經(jīng)濟體提供了至少20種關(guān)鍵的礦物。
此舉可能會(huì )“開(kāi)辟出新的發(fā)展道路”。企業(yè)可能會(huì )轉變之前從國外進(jìn)口礦物的傾向性。特朗普表示，這一政策是將美國人民的利益以及降低關(guān)鍵礦物的對外依賴(lài)性放在首位。

Trump Signs Order to Boost U.S. Production of Critical Minerals
President Donald Trump signed an executive order to reduce dependency of critical minerals used in everything from batteries to phones.
“The comprehensive order aims to identify new sources of critical minerals, ensure miners and producers have access to the best data, and streamline the leasing and permitting process to expedite production, reprocessing and recycling of minerals at all levels of the supply chain,” according to a statement Wednesday from the White House.
The U.S. in 2016 was reliant on imports for 23 minerals including cobalt, lithium, graphite and rare-earth elements, according to a report released this week by the Department of the Interior. The U.S. was most reliant on China, which supplied the world’s biggest economy with at least 20 critical minerals, the report said.
The move could “open up new avenues of growth,” said Andrew Cosgrove, senior energy and mining analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence. Companies may be less inclined to “seek out properties in foreign countries.”
“This executive order will prioritize reducing the nation’s vulnerability to disruptions in our supply of critical minerals safely and responsibility for the benefit of the American people,” Trump said in the statement.
