According to reports, the U.S. is in urgent need of critical minerals to replenish weapons stockpiles that have been depleted during the ongoing war with Iran. U.S. defense officials have indicated that current production capacity constraints may result in some stockpiles taking years to replenish.

特朗普召集全球主要矿业公司高管以采取行动
美国总统特朗普将在8月7日于美国国务院召集一些全球最大矿业公司的高管举行会议。此次会议的目的是采取行动以确保美国及其盟国的关键矿产供应。
据报道，美国急需关键矿产以补充在与伊朗战争中耗尽的武器库存。美国国防官员表示，当前的生产能力限制可能导致一些库存的补充需要数年时间。
预计参加会议的行业巨头包括力拓、必和必拓、自由港麦克莫兰、MP材料、美国稀土和能源燃料等。特朗普政府还预计将在此次活动中宣布多项协议和谅解备忘录。
