The United States and the European Union have signed a preliminary partnership deal to secure critical minerals supply chains, a move aimed at strengthening economic security and reducing reliance on dominant global suppliers. The agreement focuses on ensuring stable access to materials essential for electric vehicles, semiconductors, renewable energy, and defence technologies.
The deal reflects a broader Western strategy to diversify supply chains and counter vulnerabilities linked to concentrated production, particularly in China. Officials say the partnership will deepen transatlantic cooperation, align trade policies, and support long-term industrial resilience—highlighting how critical minerals are becoming central to geopolitics, technology competition, and global economic stability. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn News English is your window into the latest news, insight, and features from South Asia and beyond.
