What changed
The United States and European Union have agreed on an Action Plan for Critical Minerals Supply Chain Resilience that will serve as the primary bilateral mechanism to coordinate trade policies and measures on critical minerals. The plan signals intent to explore trade measures such as border-adjusted price floors to address non-market policies and practices that have distorted critical minerals supply chains.
Downstream manufacturers and energy companies that depend on critical minerals should monitor the development of this framework as it may lead to binding plurilateral trade rules affecting mineral sourcing and pricing. Companies with significant exposure to critical minerals supply chains may face future trade measure implications as negotiations toward a binding agreement progress.
