Minerals Security Partnership Authorization Act

Summary

Directs the U.S. to work with allies and partners to build secure, resilient supply chains for critical minerals across mining, processing, valuation, and advanced manufacturing. It authorizes the President to negotiate an international coalition that uses market-based tools (like cost-sharing, financing, and political risk insurance) to expand production, favor trusted partners, reduce dependence on strategic competitors, and protect exports from reaching adversaries while still supporting domestic production.

• Authorizes the President to negotiate an international coalition to secure critical mineral supply chains.
• Prioritizes domestic production while coordinating with allies to reduce reliance on strategic competitors.
• Promotes market-based incentives like cost-sharing, political risk insurance, and financing to develop mining and processing capacity.
• Covers the full chain: mining, refinement, processing, valuation, and advanced manufacturing of critical minerals.
• Directs efforts to ensure trusted-country technology and prevent exports to adversary states.
• Stresses that international cooperation complements, not replaces, domestic mineral development.
• Does not itself appropriate funds but envisions financial tools and investments through market mechanisms.
• Targets supply-chain resilience and geopolitical risk reduction rather than regulatory or environmental prescriptions.
