Donald Trump Signs Executive Order to Expand US Deep-Sea Mining

ai generated text

US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to accelerate the exploration and mining of deep-sea rare earth minerals in both domestic and international waters. This move is aimed at expanding the nation's collection capacity to meet the needs of its defense, advanced manufacturing, and energy industries. The order specifically targets mineral-rich nodules that are currently inaccessible due to regulatory hurdles. This development contradicts a decade-long international effort to establish guidelines for the deep-sea mining industry.
