'It's About Time' the West Ensured Critical Minerals Security: Analyst

Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio hosted representatives of more than 50 countries in Washington on Wednesday. At the event—named 2026 Critical Minerals Ministerial—the vice president announced that the United States will establish a price floor system for critical minerals. The goal is that members of the group will band together to weaken China’s monopoly on critical minerals.

NTD discussed the measure with Kelly Sloan, a columnist and energy policy consultant, and Grant Newsham, a retired U.S. Marine colonel, a former U.S. diplomat, and a senior fellow at the Center for Security Policy.
