Über diesen Titel
What are “critical minerals,” how are they used, and why do they matter for national security? In an era of globalized supply chains, how vulnerable is the United States to disruptions?
Michelle Michot Foss, former fellow at the Baker Institute for Public Policy, joins Ambassador David M. Satterfield to examine how rare earth elements underpin civilian products, advanced technologies, and military equipment. She also discusses why national security hinges on industrial capacity as much as military strength and outlines potential strategies for securing access to essential materials.
