The Critical Minerals Partnership Act of 2025 authorizes the Secretary of State to lead U.S. participation in the Minerals Security Partnership, a multilateral initiative aimed at developing secure supply chains for critical minerals essential to national security and economic competitiveness. The bill appropriates $50 million for fiscal year 2026 to enhance critical mineral supply chain security through investment identification, diplomatic coordination, and information-sharing with partner nations. Key provisions include establishing a database of critical mineral projects, requiring a comprehensive congressional report within 90 days on priority minerals with concentrated supply chains, and creating a new State Department mechanism to provide diplomatic support for U.S. companies pursuing critical mineral projects overseas. The legislation particularly focuses on reducing dependence on minerals controlled by single countries while ensuring projects meet environmental and labor standards.
