Under the Biden administration, our trade deficit skyrocketed by 40%, draining our country of the manufacturing vital to our economic and national security. President Donald J. Trump’ trade program is starting to reverse this trend by addressing the lack of reciprocity in our trading relations to help rebalance trade to benefit American workers and industries.

As demand for critical minerals continues to grow, Africa faces a defining question: how can the continent turn its mineral wealth into jobs, industrial growth, and long-term development? We spoke with experts who identified five ways Africa can capture more value from its critical minerals: 1️⃣ Put Africans at the center of global mineral negotiations and secure stronger positions across global value chains 2️⃣ Build a stronger Global South voice in international decisions on critical minerals, trade, investment, and resource governance 3️⃣ Ensure mining drives inclusive growth by creating jobs, expanding opportunity, and tackling inequality and poverty 4️⃣ Use Africa’s collective bargaining power to coordinate mineral policies, attract investment, and strengthen the continent’s negotiating position 5️⃣ Move beyond raw mineral exports by investing in processing, refining, and manufacturing on the continent The global race for critical minerals is more than an economic opportunity. The decisions made today will shape Africa’s economic and political sovereignty, who benefits from its resources, and the continent’s development for decades to come.

In the Lok Sabha today, I addressed questions on critical minerals — an area that is vital for India’s economic security and clean energy transition. Currently, India depends on imports for nearly 90–95% of its critical mineral requirements. To reduce this heavy dependence and strengthen our strategic capabilities, the Cabinet approved the National Critical Mineral Mission (NCMM). Under this mission, we are actively pursuing government-to-government agreements to secure critical mineral assets abroad. I shared that an agreement with Argentina for lithium mining has already been finalised, and discussions with countries such as Brazil are in advanced stages. Emphasised that simultaneously, we must also look within. Urban mining presents a major opportunity—through systematic recycling of e-waste, we can recover and reuse significant quantities of critical minerals. Watch here: Ministry of Mines
