US must support critical mineral projects in risky nations, White House adviser says
==========

White House senior adviser for energy and investment, Amos Hochstein, stated that the United States and its allies must encourage mining projects in countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zambia to ensure a reliable global supply of critical minerals for clean energy and combatting climate change. Hochstein emphasized the need for Western finance to support projects in countries with poor labor and environmental standards and less stable political systems. He called for collaboration between the US, G7 nations, Australia, South Korea, and Saudi Arabia to unlock capital for these projects and incentivize countries to improve their communities and quality of life. The US International Development Finance Corporation, Export-Import Bank of the United States, World Bank, and International Monetary Fund could play a role in facilitating this collaboration.
