💨 Abstract

President Donald Trump aims to construct metals refining facilities on Pentagon military bases to boost domestic production of critical minerals and challenge China's dominance in the sector. The plan involves Pentagon collaboration with other federal agencies to install processing facilities on bases. Trump also plans to designate a critical minerals czar. The executive order could be signed as early as Wednesday, but plans are subject to change.
