US and Argentina Partner on Critical Mineral Supply

The United States and Argentina have entered into a preliminary agreement aimed at enhancing cooperation in the critical minerals sector. This agreement is designed to boost trade and investment in the exploration, extraction, processing, and refining of critical minerals. The primary objective is to raise awareness of the investment opportunities within this sector and to identify potential co-financing options for critical mineral investments.

This partnership is a strategic move by the United States to strengthen its position in the global critical minerals market and reduce its dependence on China, a dominant player in the field. Argentina, on its part, has acknowledged its significant potential in the mining of key minerals such as copper, lithium, and zinc.
