________
The EU and US are nearing an agreement to coordinate on producing and securing critical minerals, part of a push to break reliance on Chinese supplies.
The potential deal would create incentives,
*** such as minimum prices, that could advantage non-Chinese suppliers ***,
according to a draft of an βaction planβ seen by Bloomberg.
The EU and US would also cooperate on standards, investments and joint projects, as well as coordinate on any supply disruptions by countries like China.
As part of a nonbinding memorandum of understanding, also seen by Bloomberg, the EU-US partnership would cover βcritical minerals along the entire value chain and life-cycle management,
*** including exploration, extraction, processing, refining, recycling and recovery ***.β
