WASHINGTON, D.C. – The National Mining Association (NMA) today issued the following comment from Rich Nolan, president and CEO, applauding President Trump’s Executive Order to boost domestic access to key minerals and mined materials:
“Ramping up American mining is a national security imperative, and President Trump’s strong action recognizes that. By encouraging streamlined and transparent permitting processes, combined with financing support to counter foreign market manipulation, we can finally challenge China’s mineral extortion. We applaud this strong action that confronts our mineral crisis head on and we look forward to working with the administration to ensure made in America increasingly means mined in America.”
