🇺🇸⚡THE UNITED STATES LAUNCHES “PROJECT VAULT”: THE NEW STRATEGIC RESERVE OF CRITICAL MINERALS ⚡🇺🇸
The United States has taken a decisive step to reduce dependence on China in the field of critical minerals. Donald Trump announced Project Vault, a true strategic reserve of essential materials for the American economy — an initiative comparable to the historic Strategic Petroleum Reserve for oil.
But why now?
Washington has acknowledged that much of the minerals necessary for batteries, aircraft, semiconductors, and defense systems are still imported or refined abroad, often in China.
This creates a clear vulnerability: a geopolitical or trade blockade could paralyze entire industrial sectors.
Project Vault was thus created to reduce the risk of supply shocks and strengthen national security. The project has an impressive budget of about 12 billion dollars: 10 from the U.S. Export-Import Bank and over 1.5 billion from private capital.
A clear signal that even large companies believe in the plan.
Among the participants are names like General Motors, Boeing, Google, and GE Vernova, alongside major commodity traders.
The reserve will include 50 critical minerals and 17 rare earth elements — including lithium, nickel, cobalt, and gallium — essential for the electrical industry, aerospace, defense, and advanced technology.
Project Vault transforms critical minerals into true strategic assets.
The United States aims to ensure autonomy, price stability, and a competitive advantage in a global race for the resources of the future.
