In October 2025, the US and Australia signed a critical minerals and rare earths deal to counter China's market dominance, with both countries pledging billions to a new pipeline of projects. The agreement includes a framework for investment and a pricing mechanism with price floors, and it builds on prior discussions during the Trump administration. This deal, announced during a meeting between US President Donald Trump and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, is intended to secure supply chains for technologies and defense systems.
